First, it's worth noting very few targets support multiple delay slots 
and as a result that code isn't tested nearly as well as handling of 
single delay slots.

I'm pretty sure we assume that the first insn we add to the delay list 
always goes in the first slot, 2nd insn in the 2nd slot and so-on.
