A cache line contains 16 instructions, so one would assume a partial
line is held over (to the next decode cycle) and one makes 1 fetch
in the sequential direction and 1 fetch to another predicted address. 
2-fetches per cycle giving almost 3 lines of instructions for decode.

That is the latency of verification of the prediction.

I have numerous examples of RISC-V (LLVM -O3) having 13 STs in prologue
and 13 LDs in epilogue. The distribution (excepting for leaf functions
(0 saved) and director functions (1 saved) is basically a Bell Curve
from 2->13.)

Maybe predictors have gotten that good. We always verified that there
was a flow-control instruction as a qualification to the predictor.

Key point: DECODE needs a mechanism that "smoothly" deals with FU
overcommitment.

It is where the instruction is far enough into the pipe that natural
FU scheduling runs it to completion {This is mostly when the Inst is
written into Reservation Station.}

ENTER and EXIT invent the STs and LDs needed in a way easy for DECODE to
digest. EXIT in particular {with inst<3>==0} will return; and even if
there are a lot of LDs to be performed <via EXIT>, RA can be sent to
FETCH far earlier, ...

My 66000 ABI (and SBI) both operate that way. ENTER saves registers
where higher register numbers are stored at higher memory locations.

No, of course not. Leaf functions (93%) save no registers at all as they
perform their duties in the freely-available temporary registers R0..15
