   Compare and Branch can also use two immediates as it   
   has reg-reg or reg-imm compares plus displacement.   
   And has high enough frequency to be worth considering.   
      
   But it also doesn't need two immediates.   
   A 16-bit integer or float and a 16-bit offset packed into a   
   single 32-bit immediate would suffice for most purposes.
