OK, this is basically the same issue as above - can't have constant
displacement when already using base+index, so have to spend a register
on the displacement.

I (still) think this may work. Then you'd need to be updating two
ptr's, but you might be able to use a free IADD for that.
Anyhow, even preloading e.g. 14 out of 18 elements of the second P array
could be helpful - although it'd complicated the source code.
