IIRC, your 3.2.3 and 3.3.1 patches had incomplete V4e support.
Was it intentional or perhaps a patch got lost?

If you want it in 3.4, I could extract the V4e stuff from the 3.0.4
sources, but I can't test them.

Also, there was a patch of yours to use the 528x "ff1"
instruction for the ffssi2 insn. It was rejected after
a discussion with Richard Henderson for some technical
issue I can't remember right now.

Ah, you might be pleased to know that our work is currently
announced on GCC's front page! :-)
