Nah, impossible would be things like having neither LOAD nor STORE set.

Right, something like that. Robert can the IBS data source data be
mapped onto this as well?

Are these TLB hit or miss?

Going by the definition in table 30-22 neither of these seem correct, a
STLB_HIT was defined as DTLB|STLB whereas a STLB_MISS was missing both
(resulting in a full page-table walk I presume).
