Hi,
this is next patch to tweak call predictors. It fixes bug in the direction of
predictor (like normal calls, polymorphic calls are usually not taken when
there is if guariding them) and feeds in correct data from Martin's table.
Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, comitted.
I will fix the indirect call predictor next after periodic testers pick up the
change.
