floating point support for i386 done, for record/replay

[paawan oza <paawan1982 at yahoo dot com>]

Hi Hui,
I have been going through GNU doc about how I can submit the patch (floating point record support).
the process looked bit complicated as the patch involves more than 15 lines of change.
I am not sure how to go ahead, because this is the very first time I am contributing.
please guide me with that.
I will be waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Oza.
