LGTM.

For the record, the SD scheduler was the one reordering the TEST/VASTART. The change that caused it was moving to source order scheduling. As a result the TEST ended up in a totally different MI block.

Incidentally, MI Scheduler still fails to schedule the test+je together because test appears to have unmodelled side effects (unrelated issue).
