Does this really implement a post-retirement store buffer, or is this just a 
pre-retirement store queue?  I don't really know anything about this code, but 
based on my brief scan the store queue looks like it tracks pre-retirement 
stores.  If so, that is very different than a post-retirement store buffer.  
Furthermore, you need to be careful whether the head of the pre-retirement 
store queue is speculative or non-speculative.
