[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 00/22] re-factor softfloat and add fp16 functions

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

Hi,

The main change is applying the __attribute__((flatten)) to some of
the public functions that show up in Emilio's dbt-benchmark. This
seems to be a cleaner solution that squashing inlines higher up the
chain and still leaves the chance for re-use for the less widely used
functions. The results are an improvement over v3 by some margin:

                         NBench score; higher is better

I think it's pretty ready for a merge. Shall I submit a pull myself or
does it make sense going via someone else? According to MAINTAINERS
Peter and Aurelien are responsible for this code...
