David, this isn't a technical decision (if it were, Chris would be
right).  The new changes, or more exactly the new instructions, go in
a new file clearly marked (C) FSF (and for that matter clearly stating
that it was contributed by MIPS Inc).  As for the mark-up of the
existing instructions, that's mindnumming tedium.

Sorry about this pedentary. I'm off to pester another lawyer.


Andrew,

Once the legal issues are resolved on your end, will be it be
acceptable from your POV to merge them all into mips.igen?

Or do you believe they should always be separate?

That's a technical question, as I shouldn't, I don't care!

(Why is this necessary now, when it wasn't necessary back when we
contributed the original mips32/mips64 support?)

That was a screw-up on my part. You'll see I more recently integrated the altivec instructions into the PPC as a separate file.

Andrew
