Changeset 9757:8b445d3198e0
---------------------------
x86: Add support for loading 32-bit and 80-bit floats in the x87


*** Notes to reviewers ***
This changeset requires the presence of the __float80 type which is a GCC 
extension, I'm not sure if this works with clang. I'll check that before 
committing the patch.

Testing
-------

Quick regressions pass. Solves a bug causing incorrect results in one of the 
SPEC CPU2006 where the simulated x87 didn't store 32 bit floats correctly. 
Tested loading and storing of 80-bit floats using a hand-coded assembly test 
case that switched between a simulated CPU and a hardware CPU to exercise 
loading and storing using the real thing as a reference.


Thanks,

Andreas Sandberg
