Implementing rotate through carry like that was a really bad decision IMO - it's almost never by more than one bit left or right at a time, and this could be done much more efficiently than with the constant-time code which is only faster when the count is > 6.

Is the full microcode available anywhere?

I wonder what is the use case for testing a bit outside of the memory address given.
