[Qemu-devel] PPC FP

[Qemu-devel] PPC FP

[Thayne Harbaugh]

There are some serious problems with the PPC floating point code that
was committed a couple of weeks ago.  With the patch "apt-get install
foo" fails because it thinks it needs many PB (you likely don't
recognize the multiplier "P" as peta).  Obviously, PB and TB of space is
much more than a mingetty package should require.  With the floating
point patch backed out then everything works fine.

I'm still looking for more information as to why things are broken.  It
appears that it has something to do with the case when ctx.fpu_enabled
== 0.

Package sizes are computed using FP?  I would have hoped u_int64_t.
