Thank you.  That's all I wanted you to do.  Binutils _already uses
files generated from frv CGEN input_.  You can go look at it yourself,
in opcodes/.  So if you're going to contribute a different version of
the file, it would be nice to know the effect if any on the already
available frv support.  That's an important part of this contribution;
it can not be treated as new code.
