already ahead of you, ffmaddsub scalar targets RT and RT+1
the vector non-REMAP version targets RT+srcoffs,RT+VL+srcoffs
(i am dragging much of this out of longterm memory)

when i said this needs to fit exactly with what has already been
done i really meant it. everything is there, it was 8+ intensive
weeks developing REMAP FFT and we need modifying it like a hole
in the head.

there is more, in terms of Horizontal First Mode which shaped some
of the register name conventions, i just can't recall them immediately
but it allowed 5 regs to fit 3 SHAPES and use scalar temps and 2
vector ops all without changing the REMAPs inside the critical loop.

avoiding changing that by arbitrary register allocation is a high
priority. do spend some time looking closely at the ffmaddsub and
fft remap unit tests and run them.
