+do the exact same thing. Obviously, however, if CTR is modified
+within any given loop (mtctr) the behaviour of CTR is no longer
+deterministic.*
+
+## Link Register Update
+
+For a Scalar Branch, unconditional updating of the Link Register
+LR is useful and practical. However, if a loop of CR Fields is
+tested, unconditional updating of LR becomes problematic.
+
+For example when using `bclr` with `LRu=1,LK=0` in Horizontal-First Mode,
+LR's value will be unconditionally overwritten after the first element,
+such that for execution (testing) of the second element, LR
+has the value `CIA+8`. This is covered in the `bclrl` example, in
+a later section.
+
+The addition of a LRu bit modifies behaviour in conjunction
+with LK, as follows:
+
+* `sv.bc` When LRu=0,LK=0, Link Register is not updated
+* `sv.bcl` When LRu=0,LK=1, Link Register is updated unconditionally
+* `sv.bcl/lru` When LRu=1,LK=1, Link Register will
+ only be updated if the Branch Condition fails.
+* `sv.bc/lru` When LRu=1,LK=0, Link Register will only be updated if
+ the Branch Condition succeeds.
+
+This avoids
+destruction of LR during loops (particularly Vertical-First
+ones).
