Subject: [PATCH v3 10/21] powerpc/8xx: Duplicate two insns instead of branching
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:36:58 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140917163658.A53861AB039@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Branching takes two cycles on MPC8xx. Lets duplicate the two instructions
and avoid the branching.

Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>
