No, MA is for the memory *access conflict* between data access and
instruction fetch for the non/unified cache SH[123], while L is for
the memory access *latency* on SH[123].

And, of course, there is also no L for "mov <REG_M>,<REG_N>".

Well, I don't like it because it adds more code unnecessarily, thus
increasing the working set.
And it isn't really inconsistent; SET_NIP is used when nip is changed
for something other than linear instruction fetch, so that we know
if we'll sooner hit a loop boundary or the end of memory.
ppi_insn and the profile trap just do linear instruction fetch for
larger instructions; sleep / trap 0xc3 re-fetches the same instruction
again.
