I would think that all the operand addresses for instructions in the pipeline
would need to be recalculated. And I suspect it might affect instruction
interlocks and out-of-order instruction execution, too.
One wonders if one should put one or two pipe-cleaners ahead of
such an instruction so that the pipe(s) get flushed before the
change to 31 or 64 occurs.
