The Alchemy manuals state:

"All pipeline hazards and dependencies are enforced by hardware interlocks
 so that any sequence of instructions is guaranteed to execute correctly.
 Therefore, it is not necessary to pad legacy MIPS hazards (such as
 load delay slots and coprocessor accesses) with NOPs."

Run-tested on Au12x0, without any ill effects.
