According to the 21066 HRM, the processor loads its initial I-stream from the 
SROM.  All Icache bits are loaded from the SROM, including the cache block 
metadata.  The blocks are loaded in sequential order starting with block 0 and 
ending with block 255.  For the 20166, the Icache is loaded LSB first filling 
from left to right (i.e. bit 0 of LW0 will be the first bit loaded).  This is 
the resulting order of each cache block:

BHT LW7 LW5 LW3 LW1 V ASM ASN TAG LW6 LW4 LW2 LW0

I thought I had some code do unmultiplex each bit stream from an SROM image and 
then reconstruct the resulting memory image, but I can't find it or I just 
thought about doing that.
