Follows #626 and #613.

Delayed branches should be supported by PerfSim as well.
The idea is not quite simple:

  • branch misprediction should not cancel previous instruction (or instructions, if branch slot is 2 or more).
  • branch prediction should affect not the next instruction, but the instruction one to the next
  • there might be problems with sequence id and other related things.
