Seems basically ok to me. It's a little odd to have mispredicts on non-control 
instructions, but that's how ARM does things I guess. Perhaps you could make 
the ISA description mark instructions changing R15 as control instructions? I'm 
sure that would be harder than it sounds.

    I don't think there's actually a rule about it, but this || at the start of 
the line looks a little funny. I like them at the end of the line since that 
visually indicates the expression continues. Not a big deal, but it would be 
nice to move it.

    I was really confused here for a second until I realized review board was 
ignoring the change in indentation.
