[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/14] target/ppc: remove getVSR()/putVSR() and further tidy-up

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

With the conversion of PPC VSX registers to host endian during the 4.0 
development
cycle, the VSX helpers getVSR() and putVSR() which were used to convert between 
big
endian and host endian (and are currently just a no-op) can now be removed. This
eliminates an extra copy for each VSX source and destination register at 
runtime.

Patches 1-3 do the elimination work on a per-file basis and switch VSX register
accesses to be via pointers rather than on copies managed using 
getVSR()/putVSR().

After this patches 4-12 change the VSX registers to be passed to helpers via 
pointers
rather than register number so that the decode of the vector register pointers 
occurs
at translation time instead of at runtime. This matches how VMX instructions are
currently decoded.

Finally patches 13 and 14 perform some additional tidy-up around decoding 
registers
at translation time instead of runtime for VSX_REST_DC and VSX_FMADD.

Greg: I've added you as CC since you managed to find a bug in my last series. 
This
one is much more mechanical, but if you are able to confirm this doesn't 
introduce
any regressions in your test images then that would be great.
