i had the same problem when i started my project; i guess that you are
asking for material which is under properitaryship of INTEL; no way you
can find out; in the past however i got in touch with this guy at INTEL
thro' someone, and he was willing to answer only the specifics; if i asked
him A he would answer yes/no. period; in the mean time i did a lot of
brain storming with comp.arch, research was done with BYTE magazine,
microprocessor report; perhaps your best bet is to get in touch with mike
slater (of the microprocessor report) and ask him; he gets privy to all
these materials; 
good luck; also try to read between lines in manuals; it helps; i found
that my implementation of the predecode unit was right after figuring out
a logical implemantation; turns out that there is a specific terminology
assoc. with that; also i realized that my implementation would work faster
based on states (or some thing similar) if i could avoid the queue after
reset; this is called cache bypass i found out later;
