The pattern for the Load Quadword (lq) instruction is fixed.
If rtp is 0 or 12, the instruction will overwrite r0, r1 or
r12, r13 respectively. However, r1 is the stack frame pointer
and r13 is the thread pointer. So, overwriting them can cause
a crash. This is avoided by putting a constraint to prevent
rtp from being 0 or 12.
For a given effective address (ea), this instruction loads
two dwords from ea and ea+8. However, if ea is the start
address of the current stack frame, then the value of the
back chain dword from the previous stack frame, which is at
ea+8, is loaded on to one of the registers. This can cause
a mismatch as the addresses may vary across the master and
the apprentice instances. This is avoided by always adding
8 to the offset used for calculating the ea.
