From: Aravindan Muthukumar <aravindan.muthuku...@intel.com>
This patch improves CPI Rate(Cycles per Instruction) and branch miss
predict for i965. The function check_state() was showing CPI retired
rate.
Performance stats with android:
- CPI retired lowered by 28% (lower is better)
- Branch missprediction lowered by 13% (lower is better)
- 3DMark improved by 2%
The dissassembly doesn't show difference, although above results were
observed with patch.
V2:
- Removed memset() change
- Changed commit message as per review comments
V3:
- Indentation in check_and_emit_atom and commit msg corrected
