i love this guy :) he talks so fast, and makes it clear that you use the first
few bits of the address as the index into the Branch Lookup SRAM.

the entries are:
* the full address (so that you know that you are matching the correct address,
just like a Page Table Entry)
* the last branch address
* the prediction yes/no

so it is actually very similar to Page Tables, which is quite interesting.

will keep looking for more stuff
