    Have a look at "cortex-a8-cycle.xls", there are some points that I can't understand clearly:

    1. What is different between "dstCond" column and "cc-dst1" column and "cc-dst2"?
    2. In status register access instruction, MRS with the same type "dst,psr" but there are 2 lines. One line says that MRS takes 8 cycles. Other line says that MRS takes only 1 cycles.Why does this difference happen?
