Argh, this comment is only relevant to the first patch in this set.  I
rewrote the whole paragraph as:

In preparation for the third option of long double format on
powerpc64le, this patch uses the new mode mask, PRINTF_LDBL_USES_FLOAT128,
which tells __vfprintf_internal to save the floating-point values into
variables of type __float128 and adjusts the parameters to __printf_fp
and __printf_fphex as if it was a call from strfromf128.
