Reorg everything using QEMU_GENERIC and multiple inclusion to
reduce the amount of code duplication between the formats.

The use of QEMU_GENERIC means that we need to use pointers instead
of structures, which means that even the smaller float formats
need rearranging.

I've carried it through to completion within fpu/, so that we don't
have (much) of the legacy code remaining.  There is some floatx80
stuff in target/m68k and target/i386 that's still hanging around.

FWIW I could enable a few more tests although extF80_lt_quiet still has
some failures on equality tests:

Ah, thanks for the reminder that these were disabled.
I'll add this to my patch set for v2.

This turns out to be a trivial typo in the tester itself:

I did note we are missing mulAdd tests but they seem to be missing from
the underlying testfloat code as well. I guess we don't care that much
for the 80bit code? Is it even used by any architectures?

It's not used by any architecture, so no point in implementing it.

I did a basic some basic benchmarks which show no issues (although I
suspect hardfloat is hiding any true cost of the softfloat itself):

I guess what would be really telling is if a ext80 benchmark exhibited
any slowdown.

OK and here are some quad benchmarks. There is actual change above the
noise but I think the biggest hit comes from the parts conversion but we
do claw some of it back:

* Run Quad Benchmarks

#+begin_src sh :results output table append

  muladd=$(./tests/fp/fp-bench add -p quad)
  desc=$(git log --format="format:%s" HEAD^..)
  echo "$commit,$add,$mul,$muladd,$desc"
#+end_src

If I'm reading your output properly, there should have been no change in the 
benchmarking through to this point, because all we have done so far is modify 
float64 and below.

Thus there seems to be a *lot* of noise in your numbers.

This is where I would have expected a hit to the first column, and no change to 
the other two.

Now add and mul columns are going down when the only change is to muladd?  Is 
this just more noise?

That's why some of the passes were run multiple times. Although the
results are sorted in commit order I did 3 separate passes through the
code when I was gathering the numbers. However you are right to say they
are indicative rather than strict benchmarking conditions - I've just
re-run on 3 commits:

So while the first commit showed a nearly 10% variation over multiple
runs (cache effects?) I think the step between float_cmask and
return_nan is more real.

I wonder if it would be worth tweaking the fp-bench program to make the
numbers a bit more stable? For total execution time runs I use hyperfine
which does at least try and measure the deviation between runs and trend
to a stable number but these numbers are reported directly by the
fp-bench tool.

The effect looks very real:

I wonder if it is an effect of greater code re-organisation affecting

I'm going to take a break from reviewing this now I've been through
about 2/3rds of the patches. Overall I think the series is in great
shape and while the performance modulations are interesting they are not
a blocker from my point of view. I'll happily take a small hit to
performance for a more unified (and correct!) code base. However the
frontend maintainers for those affected may take a different view.

I don't believe it.  If source code for a given function is not changing then 
the generated code should not change (much, especially with FLATTEN), and thus 
the runtime should not change (much).

Are you absolutely sure that you're measuring what you think you are measuring?

Is your compiler mis-behaving somehow and not inlining stuff?
