Sorry I missed the original post, but:

You should not special case unlikely events, especially when ...

> +        if (opc == OPC_MXU_S32MAX) {
> +            tcg_gen_smax_i32(mxu_gpr[XRa - 1], mxu_gpr[XRb - 1],
> +                                               mxu_gpr[XRc - 1]);
> +        } else {
> +            tcg_gen_smin_i32(mxu_gpr[XRa - 1], mxu_gpr[XRb - 1],
> +                                               mxu_gpr[XRc - 1]);

... the normal case will handle those special cases just fine.
