Here is the first one.  OK for trunk?

Thanks.

H.J.,

Removal of the scheduling override is included in the 0006-Core-2-i7-DFA patch I posted and, now, checked in.

Thanks,

Maxim,
   Any comments on the md file changes proposed by Iain Sandoe in his i386 darwin mtune=core2 patch?

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-08/msg01024.html

I did a quick test on x86_64 linux and Iain's md changes didn't introduce any regressions.
          Jack
ps Mike Stump has already pre-approved the darwin specific parts so we are set to switch i386
darwin from mtune=generic to mtune=core2 once the md changes are approved.

Jack,

I don't have any comments on the patch.  Uros or Richard should be much better judges on i386.md than I am.

Regards,

The patch is already approved by rth. Are there any open questions
w.r.t. the patch?

Uros.

Uros,
   I guess Iain forgot that the md changes had been effectively approved already
by Richard. Sorry about the noise.

Sorry for the breakage.  I believe H.J. fixed this one for Linux.
