=== Progress ===

* ivopts patch to minimise the amount of VFP moves to integer
registers because of auto-inc  - sent out for review. It appears to
test fine and reduces the number of FP to integer moves in certain
SPEC2k6 benchmarks by about 20%
* More cases with vfp moves identified and some more patches coming
out soonish. one-case where we have moves from VFP regs to integer
regs because we allow POST_MODIFY_DISP.
and another case from scimark where we have a case with moves from
integer registers to VFP registers because I suspect the order of
constraints in movdf_vfp has integer registers before fp registers
while
the movsf_vfp doesn't .
* Panda died a couple of times again because of power glitches in the
office - restarted runs for BRANCH_COST.
* Sorted out travel plans for UDS orlando. Need to book tickets.
* Sometime spent on getting the Eagle boards working.
* Bug triage and some patch review.

=== Plans ===

* Benchmark the ivopts patch to see what happens.
* Some issues with my last patch on movdi_vfp . I think I've missed a
set of ce_count and was thinking of why there was an Ada failure
with things outside IT blocks There appears to be an ubuntu bug for that.
* Disable POST_MODIFY for VFP mode values and see what happens and
change the order of the constraints to have loads to VFP registers
before loads to core registers for movdf_vfp and thumb2_movdf_vfp.
* Look at effects of auto-inc-dec with the VFP mode stuff.
* Look at EPILOGUE_USES and clear more of my patch queue.
