The original experiment was taken without any knowledge if SP was
aligned to >8 or not. If 8-byte read from SP(0) splits the cache line,
then 8-byte read from SP(-CL) also splits the cache line *and* shares it
with SP(0). Additional 8-byte push back was to dodge this. But, it
appears the SP is aligned to 16 bytes?

If so, we can go with this:
