    117117
    118 Cacheability is a segment attribute, and is implemented by the [wiki:Component/VciXcache VciXcache] component. As this component does not implement a MMU, it contains a dedicated address decoder to determine the cacheability. This decoder is implemented as a '''Cacheability Table''',  that is accessed by the cache controller for each processor request. This table is indexed by the address bits selected by the cacheability mask. The table output is a Boolean defining the cacheability.
