Description Cole Poirier 2020-08-08 20:56:41 BST 
from https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199#c58

```the number of oper_* pins is far too large.  this is the "expansion" of the instruction for convenience.  an example is the 64 bit immediate.

basically i am going to have to do "subset instruction decoders" that are *inside* mul0, *inside* alu0 and so on.

i have to find time to do that.

until then i think we stop with the floorplan version and go with "flat".
```

Luke, can you edit this tomorrow - since I know you're resting today recovering from yesterdays driving ordeals - to include more details about what needs to be done?

Also, I think I have categorized it under the correct milestone and that it blocks bug #383 'Complete first functional power9 core' but I also think I may be mistaken so please correct me :)

appreciate the help raising bugreports, in this case i planned and noted it 3 or so weeks ago.  however the subject libe is particularly obtuse.
