* Stage 2 Projects If you have a Stage 2 project that's ready, reviewed, and tested, you can check in early. For example, the Stage 2 list has architecture-specific work listed for ARM, ColdFire, and x86-64. If that work is ready, it's unlikely to affect the Stage 1 work, so it's fine for it to go in early. The reason it's in Stage 2 is that it wouldn't perturb me for it to go in during Stage 2; in contrast, the new dataflow stuff should go in soon so that we have time to fix any problems that arise and so that future work can build on that platform. However, if you are going to commit early, please announce that fact at least 72 hours before you actually do your check-in, so that people working on Stage 1 projects can ask you to wait, and please respect ay such requests.

Hi, I am looking to submit patches that tune for the new AMDFAM10 architecture. The project is listed at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AMDFAM10 as a stage 2 project. I wanted to find out if it would be ok to submit patches for this project in stage 1. The changes in these patches are all confined in the i386 backend and are only turned on with -march=amdfam10 and/or -mtune=amdfam10 and have been tested at our end. Thoughts, please? Thanks, -Harsha
