really?

I'm probably off, but at a cocktail party I would would have said that
some instructions took 8 clocks (f0,f1,f2,f3,e0,e1,e2,e3) and some took
12 (f0-f3, d0-d3, e0-d3).

That's according to a recent look at the "blue book", but I may have
misunderstood.  I did write up some verilog which uses those states and
it seems to be (mostly) correct, but it's done all debugged yet.
