While reading through section 16.19.9 of the internals manual, i ran into this
example that looked slightly odd:

(define_insn_reservation "div" 8 (eq_attr "type" "div")
			 "i1_pipeline, div*7, div + (port0 | port1)")

Am i missing something or is this example incorrect and this should either
have a latency of 9 (patch attached) or a different resource utilization
description, say, containing "div*6" instead?

Regards,
Luis

The numbers are somewhat arbitrary, but you are right that there is an 
inconsistency here that should be fixed, and it doesn't really matter 
how we fix it.

Thanks. I've checked this in now.
