Okay, we can go ahead with this, with the understanding that we may
need to change the FP register numbering later on. There is a
possibility that it will make a significant difference in the size of
the debug information if we store FP registers so that the base of the
FP stack, rather than ST(0), is at a fixed position in the register
bytes. But that's a change we can make later, and it's going to take
a lot of work on the EGCS side before we know which is best.
Anyone want to propose the initial contents of tm-i386reg.h? Someone
with a newer manual than me, and who knows how 3DNow works?
