This implements 8-set × 2-way set-associative cache for both load and store operations, replacing the previous direct-mapped design. This provides better hit rates while maintaining code simplicity.
Memory cost: +512 bytes per hart (256B for load + 256B for store)
Summary by cubic
Upgraded MMU load/store caches to 8-set, 2-way set-associative. This raises hit rates (load 65→98%, store 83→99%) and cuts store misses by 94%.
