[PATCH] sparc: Allow non-fpop2 instructions before floating point branches

    Sparc V8 does not allow fpop2 instructions (floating point comparisons)
    immediately before floating point branches. The existing check, however,
    does not allow any kind of floating point instruction before the branch.
    This patch adds an extra condition to only disallow fpop2
    instructions.

Thanks for the patch.

I just committed it to master, along with a reference to the specific
relevant section in the SPARCv8 architecture manual in the commit
message.

Salud!
