Just wondering---
 - What happens on existing processors which use delayed branches when the
instruction put in the branch instruction's shadow is also a branch?
 - Do existing processors have a seperate adder for use by branches only, or
are there restrictions on the possible instructions which can be put in the
shadow?
 - Are there any processors which use branch delaying and don't have a
seperate address calculation adder?
