This patch does: - Remove outdated comments (which someday I marked with "?"). - Reassemble instructions to fit them in fewer bundles. - If McKinley Errata 9 workaround is not needed, the workaround bundles will be patched out with NOPs. However it also not needed to have a totally NOP bundle (nop * 3) before branch. As a result, this makes the code path 3 (or 2) bundles shorter (and remove 1 unnecessary stop bit). It seems to be 1% faster.
