Why can't I use systolic mode when addnsub is used?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

In the MAC and mult_adder cores, when the addnsub signal is used, the systolic register can't be used properly

Resolution This is due to the hardware limitation of the 28nm DSP block structure. The Systolic is not the typical Systolic structure. Thus when the addnsub is toggle dynamically, the calculation result will be incorrect for the first tap result. Thus don\'t put this support into the megacore.
