I suppose, the same as most of the CS world - an event that causes
association of line in cache with particular address.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0013/d/Caches/Cache-policies/Allocation-policy
For comparison:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/814346/24-2/cache-allocation-policy.html

Sounds like Arm and Intel agree on the meaning of the word.
