Link?

The optimization guide avaliable at AMD website doesn't list any instruction that doesn't depend on EX0 | EX1, no op on AGUs writeback to the register file, neither loads or stores, it is exactly the same as on Llano.

For the next model there are some interesting changes:
1) bextr using AGU, but this is instruction generates two ops, one may use the AGU the other the EX0 | EX1 to final step and writeback.

2) mov reg, reg using AGU, maybe done through a crazy form of mov elimination?
