Now you have a list, so I adjusted to branch instructions executed,
branch misses, and bus cycles...
Although the next patch does this already having two 'ands' is on the

Again no need to have the extra indention.

Since the following line will be a continuation of the list, the above
line needs a comma at the end... I see this was fixed in the next
patch, but needed to be done here.
