  This runs in 47.234 seconds.
  
I'd like to understand carry flag renaming,
which we will need for fast addmul_k.

Does things like this run well, i.e., ideally at 5 cycles?
Some chips performs great register renaming, except that
the carry bit is really just one bit.

	.global	main
main:	save	%sp, -176, %sp
	sethi	%hi(2800000000), %g5
1:	addcc	%g7, %g7, %l0
	addxccc	%g7, %g7, %l1
	addxccc	%g7, %g7, %l2
	addxccc	%g7, %g7, %l3
	addcc	%g7, %g7, %l4
	addxccc	%g7, %g7, %l5
	addxccc	%g7, %g7, %l6
	addxccc	%g7, %g7, %l7
	brnz	%g5, 1b
	 dec	%g5
	ret
	 restore
