Yes. Matt caught this as well. Unfortunately the search for branch_ctrl returns
nothing in bspec, so I had to manually click every instruction in the ISA (I
didn't want to assume anything). Else is next to Endif... I am pretty sure I
clicked Else twice.

Thanks. I'll consider the other comment Matt left and then either resubmit with
a change for him, or push.
