Understood.

Meanwhile, the ALU parallel test case is done, including handling of the zero_a
and imm_ok cases.

These operand producers are kind of "dumb": they will happily respond to a
request, even if zero_a or imm_ok is asserted. But, they will still increment
their transaction counter. The counters are checked at the end, when busy is
negated, and the mismatch will be detected.

There is still a DummyALU CompUnit, with three operands, that remains to be
ported. Also, I will remove my earlier unfinished attempt.
