Re: [PATCH] Update mtfsf and mtfsfi instructions to support new optional operands.
Shouldn't the new forms be marked POWER6-only, not COM?
Yes, but then you'd have two entries for the same opcode and you'd
need to introduce a NOPOWER6 flag so that only one entry was used.
Wouldn't it work to do two entries, the POWER6 variant
first? The table is searched in order, there are more
things that depend on that already. Or would the assembler
have issues with this?
I don't think it is worth the bother.
Fair enough. I think the whole "which insn set and
insn set extensions are enabled" thing needs an
overhaul, I just don't feel up to it :-)
