+// Todo:
+// Add a couple of the branch fields to DynInst.  Figure out where DynInst
+// should try to compute the target of a PC-relative branch.  Try to avoid
+// having so many returns within the code.
+// Fix up squashing too, as it's too
+// dependent upon the iew stage continually telling it to squash.
