We need to nail down what the directions mean. The IMCC and JIT folks
are the ones that care here. I've been working on the assumption that
an out means that the register in question may change value, so it's
not appropriate on, say, add P1, P2, P3, since the destination
*register* doesn't change, just the value of the PMC in the register.
This is different than, say, add I1, I2, I3 where the value in the
destination register does change.
