    KVM: PPC: Implement Paired Single emulation · 831317b6
    Alexander Graf 提交于
    The one big thing about the Gekko is paired singles.
    
    Paired singles are an extension to the instruction set, that adds 32 single
    precision floating point registers (qprs), some SPRs to modify the behavior
    of paired singled operations and instructions to deal with qprs to the
    instruction set.
    
    Unfortunately, it also changes semantics of existing operations that affect
    single values in FPRs. In most cases they get mirrored to the coresponding
    QPR.
    
    Thanks to that we need to emulate all FPU operations and all the new paired
    single operations too.
    
    In order to achieve that, we use the just introduced FPU call helpers to
    call the real FPU whenever the guest wants to modify an FPR. Additionally
    we also fix up the QPR values along the way.
    
    That way we can execute paired single FPU operations without implementing a
    soft fpu.
