The FP Adder is based on an academic architecture that is pipelined, and now that it is quite functional, we should add the pipestages on the Rounding and Near paths to achieve higher frequencies.
Desired solution
Add a pipestage to the FP Adder in a conditional way. Look for any opportunity to add two pipestages as there is a natural 2 cycle architecture, there may be other cutpoints to enable a 3 cycle.
