*click*. using dest elwidth.  i like it.
is starting to encroach on the reserved space though.

if nothing else they can be added on top of those
MODULO-FP operations.

heck no.  way too much else to do.

SPRs controlling something as lowlevel and critical as LDST now requiring
*five* 64-bit read ports and two writes? not a snowball in hell's chance
that would get through the ISA WG, the IBM POWER Architects would take
an extremely dim view of such costly operstions.

ldst-with-shift is already pushing the limits.

you really do need to think through the regfile port allocation and
Hazard Management implications, jacob,
you can't just blithely throw features in without thinking through
the micro-architectural implications.
