[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH for 2.11 00/23] Implementing FP16 for ARMv8.2 using SoftFloat2a and 3c

Hi, As this is an RFC patch it is not a complete implementation but exploring the two options for implementing half-precision floating point going forward. The first few patches shuffle the two softfloat implementations around so they can live side-by-side. The SoftFloat3c library has been
