I have added support for most of the PowerPC vector unit instructions
to binutils. Still left to do are the data stream instructions: dss,
dssall, dst, dstt, and dstst. The Altivec user's/programmer's manual
does not indicate how the stream operand is encoded, and I have not
been able to find code samples that use these instructions. I want
to look a bit more before contributing those patterns.
