What Chris said. But also, is it even meaningful to read a h/w register
now (when?) and use its value as the basis for future LRI instructions?
How (and when) does this register get its initial value, and does it get
changed at any other time? If the value we put in the register is a
run-time constant, there's really no need to read it back even once.
