  48 the number of combinatorial StageChains (n_comb_stages) in
  49 FPDivStages is an argument arranged to get the length of the whole
  50 pipeline down to sane numbers.
  51
  52 the reason for keeping the number of stages down is that for every
  53 pipeline clock delay, a corresponding ReservationStation is needed.
  54 if there are 24 pipeline stages, we need a whopping TWENTY FOUR
  55 RS's.  that's far too many.  6 is just about an acceptable number.
  56 even 8 is starting to get alarmingly high.
