Comment 1 Paul Mackerras 2023-05-25 06:56:15 BST 
Comments from IBM architects regarding the proposal:

The ls003 FX instructions use RC, aliased as RS, as the second output. I think the architecture doesn't alias registers thus. And I think RS is never used as a target.

And for Load with Update instructions (which I think are the only FX instructions that currently have two outputs) the second output register is RA. And, for existing instructions that use RS, RS is in bits 6:10, not bits 21:25 as in ls003.
