3.7.1 Constraints on Instructions Using the Same Functional Unit
Two instructions using the same functional unit cannot be issued in the same

The following execute packet is invalid:
ADD .S1 A0, A1, A2 ;.S1 is used for
|| SHR .S1 A3, 15, A4 ;...both instructions
The following execute packet is valid:
ADD .L1 A0, A1, A2 ;Two different functional
