New issue 376 by [email protected]: Consider using fcomi for  
MacroAssembler::FCmp
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=376

 From macro-assembler-ia32.cc:
void MacroAssembler::FCmp() {
   fcompp();
   push(eax);
   fnstsw_ax();
   sahf();
   pop(eax);
}

Intel P6 introduced a new instruction that can replace this sequence called
fcomi. It is smaller and faster. It should be considered for use in V8.
