Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 3/9] softfloat: For Mips only, correct order

Thanks, you are right, this area is changed in patch #1 too. However, it was 
not intended to be that way. Patch #1 should leave this function as-is, and the 
entire change for this function should be in this patch. I will organize the 
code as intended in the next version of the series. Yours, Aleksandar

Initially I was confused with this part of diff until I realized that
you had modified the original order in pickNaNMulAdd in patch #1 -- was
that intended?

Otherwise:
