but VA-Form EXT004 is under severe pressure.
3. Both `maddhdu` and `divmod2du` instructions have been present in Intel x86
for several decades. Likewise, `dsld` and `dsrd`.
-4. None of these instruction is present in VSX: these are 128/64 whereas
- VSX is 128/128.
+4. None of these instruction is present in VSX.
5. `maddedu` and `divmod2du` are full inverses of each other, including
when used for arbitrary-length big-integer arithmetic.
6. These are all 3-in 2-out instructions. If Power ISA did not already
and is unsuited for big-integer or other general arithmetic.
8. Unresolved: dsld/dsrd are 3-in 3-out (in the Rc=1 variants) where the
normal threshold set is 3-in 2-out.
+9. Hardware may macro-op fuse repeated inline uses, reducing register use through
+ operand-forwarding and/or using higher bit-width ALUs.
