I'm not quite sure I understand why the nofloat variant is sufficient;
is this because we don't use FPRs in the abort/restart code of libitm
(and the FPRs are known to be clobbered after starting a txn)?
There is a bit in the properties passed to _ITM_beginTransaction which
states whether the txn has floating point update code
(pr_hasNoFloatUpdate). Would this be useful?
(BTW, sorry for the late response. I don't read gcc-patches frequently,
so please CC me on libitm-related things.)
