Description

Tom's RTL changes at https://github.com/lowRISC/ibex/pull/1474 simplify things dramatically on the DV side, which is nice. I made some suggested simplifications on that PR and there are probably further simplifications possible. Do them!

Research direction

Start by reading Tom's RTL changes in pull request #1474 and the suggested simplifications already made there. Review the remaining icache and DV code after the PMP interface removal, identify further simplifications, and confirm the resulting RTL and DV changes remain consistent with that cleanup.
