nit: the 4 here is a bit cryptic, could we say something like (perhaps
slightly over-explained):
/*
 * CTR IminLine contains Log2 of the number of words in the cache line,
 * so we can get the number of words as 2 << (IminLine - 1).  To get the
 * number of bytes, we multiply by 4 (the number of bytes in a 32-bit
 * word), and get 4 << (IminLine).

Maybe an oddball place to ask this, but I don't recall why we need PoU
everywhere, would PoC potentially be enough?

Do we really need this in every iteration of the loop?

Either I'm having a bad day or you meant to shift this 28, not 24?
