Maciej, I checked with one of the AVP engineers and he said: "madd/msub/nmadd/nmsub.fmt instructions are required for all release 2 implementations, whether or not that implementation has a 64 bit fpu. They are also required for mips64 release 1 implementations. The AVPs check for this." Steve Ellcey
