ALU main stage

hilarious.  the actual OP_ADD, OP_CMPEQB, OP_CMP and OP_EXTS operations
are ridiculously small compared to the support infrastructure: regfile,
DMs, everything basically.

i'd heard that routing of data is by far and above the majority of
a CPU: it's kind-of illuminating to actually see how small an ALU
can be.
