I think the only ISA addition so far is BranchLong which gets emulated by the kernel. I hear murmurings of additional instructions in future processors, but let's cross that bridge when there's silicon to be had. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
