No. This is not valid. You are not initializing all the field later on.
Needs to be:
          dse.val = PERF_MEM_NA
(which is defined in my patch).

But you have LOCK, SNOOP TLB, ....
So it is better to initialize globally dse.val once, and then patch
based on what you can gather.

I will repost the whole series with my fixes and cleanups.
