[PATCH 0/4] target/s390x: Improve carry computation

[Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>]

While testing the float128_muladd changes for s390x host,
emulating under x86_64 of course, I noticed that the code
we generate for strings of ALCGR and SLBGR is pretty awful.

I realized that we were missing a trick: the output cc is
based only on the output (result and carry) and so we don't
need to save the inputs.  And once we do that, we can use
the output carry as a direct input to the next insn.

For subtract, computing carry as per the PoO (a + ~b + c),
in tcg is less efficient than computing borrow.  We can
convert between the two simply by adding or subtracting 1.

As an example from float128_muladd,

0x400003f014:  b90b 0019       slgr     %r1, %r9
0x400003f018:  b989 002a       slbgr    %r2, %r10
0x400003f01c:  b989 0030       slbgr    %r3, %r0
