I looked into this. There aren't any instructions currently in the code that
would be skipped by this logic. Perhaps this logic was needed at one point in
time but is no longer needed because those instructions were removed at some
point.
I recall that Brian consolidated the logic to decide which instructions to skip
into a single function in hex_common.py as part of the system mode patch
series. So, I'll go ahead and add a comment to the commit description as you
suggest.
Thanks,
Taylor
