It isn't correct, it's simply functional.  These registers may eventually be
implemented, and at that point this code will fail.  You'll note that your
store_add functions don't have the same problem, because they don't have this
R_COUNT check.  It would be better to increase the number of buffer slots and
do the right thing here in load_add.

My suggestion is to expand tmp_regs to 4, drop tmp_regcur, and have dest_gr
manage all of the indexing.  I.e.

static TCGv dest_gr(DisasContext *dc, uint8_t rdst)
{
    int n = dc->n_tmp_regs++;
    assert(n < ARRAY_SIZE(dc->tmp_regs));
    dc->tmp_regs[n].idx = rdst;
    return dc->tmp_regs[n].val = tcg_temp_new_i64();
}

In this way you can in fact call dest_gr twice within load_add and everything
will Just Work.
