Hi Nilay,
I could be wrong but it looks to me that this patch is more like a "buffering 
of requests in the sequencer" and not really coalescing of requests. The reason 
being this patch actually issues the aliased requests to the memory subsystem 
on a hit callback whereas I was expecting coalescing to reduce the number of 
requests to the memory subsystem by issuing only a single request to the 
cacheline. Did I miss something?


src/mem/ruby/system/Sequencer.cc (line 525)
<http://reviews.gem5.org/r/3099/#comment6193>

    From a readability perspective, would it be better if this one large 
condition is broken down into smaller conditions with some comments?
