Cacheway Exclude FlushStage=1 when SetValidWay=1
We determined that this case is not hit even for i$, so this case is also excluded separately for i$. It could be a better idea to remove the ~FlushStage check completely (if we're sure). My reasoning for this one is written as a comment in the exclusion script: since a pipeline stall is asserted by the cache in the fetch stage (which happens before going into the WRITE_LINE state and asserting SetValidWay), there seems to be no way to trigger a FlushStage (FlushW for D$) while the stallM is active.
