// The branch decision path through the ALU is slow because:
//
// - Sees immediates and PC on its inputs, as well as regs
// - Add/sub rather than just add (with complex decode of the sub condition)
// - 2 extra mux layers in front of adder if Zba extension is enabled
//
// So there is sometimes timing benefit to a dedicated branch comparator.
