ChangeLog following this updates now.

I already removed the "Contributed by" lines.

I added comments for why the return operations are used for.

For POWER7, the compiler will optimize this and by replacing a '0.0' for a '__builtin_abs (ret)' will
just trade a 'xxlor' instruction by 'xsabsdp'. It is not a faster, both have similar latency.

Fixed.
