  Yes I did use mulx/umulxhi (both T3 and T4 have umulxhi) and yes the
  multiplies do pipeline on T4 (it doesn't on T3), and it gets about 4
  cycles per limb in a two-way unrolled loop in mul_1.  addmul_1 gets
  about 6.5 cycles per limb.
  
Could you please try my mul-only loop to determine the throughput?

It is a 2-issue pipeline, right?  So the two extra instructions for
addmul_1 compared to mul_1, if both are deply unrolled, should allow for
1 + epsilon differential cycle.

With two-way unrolling, we will get 3 extra instructions per way (5 or 6
in total per loop).  This still does not explain the slowdown from 4 c/l
to 6.5 c/l.
