Richard pretty much said all I wanted to say, but I just wanted to reinforce
that the semantics of the multiple pipes is always "all together". So if you have
{ move r1, r2; move r2, r1 } then that swaps r1 and r2.  Or if you have
{ ld r1, sp; jrp r1 } then you are restoring r1 but jumping to wherever its
previous value said you needed to go.  Etc.

Similarly, if any pipeline takes an exception (a TLB fault from a memory op,
a GPV fault from an illegal mfspr, etc) then no pipeline completes its action.
