Actually I am going to read them. There's a nonzero chance I missed something
or that you dealt with some of the issues in a cleaner manner.
I *think* the only things left are:
a. 64bit comb/comib
b. reloc support for the new load/stores (they're usable without reloc
support, but having reloc support would allow us to generate better code)
c. cache hint completers for load/store instructions
I've done A internally, but I'm extremely unhappy with the result. B could
be a nop, I haven't looked at the reloc stuff for those insns yet. C ought
to be a pain, but do-able.
