Are you sure about stores?
From Power7 paper (B. Sinharoy et al)

The STAG corresponds to a pointer to the store-reorder-queue (SRQ) entry assigned to a store instruction. This is also used to match the store data instruction with the store address instruction in the SRQ.


The 64-bit VSU store instructions are split into an address generation (AGEN) operation and a data steering operation during instruction dispatch


Instructions are issued to the LSU out of order, with a bias toward the oldest operations first. Stores are issued twice; an AGEN operation is issued to the LSU, whereas a data steering operation is issued to the FXU or the VSU.


So, if it's not cracking then pretty close equivalent of it.
