Hi Jerry,

Sorry this is so late - summer can be busy for everyone.  You may have
figured this out already, but I'll answer just in case.

Since TimingSimpleCPU is an in-order core, making it non-blocking doesn't
make sense - you will still have to wait for the access can come back before
going on to the next instruction.  However, caches are non-blocking for our
FullCPU OOO core.
