This was part of my guess for some of the performance problems.

I saw compute_all_sub quite high in the profile at some point, and I
believe that the test case has a partially rotated loop such that "cmp"
is in a delay slot, and so the gen_compare fast path for CC_OP_SUB is
not visible to the conditional branch that uses the output of the compare.
Which means that helper_compute_psr gets called more often that we'd like.

Since almost all Sparc instructions that set cc also have a version of
the instruction that does not set cc, we can trust that the compiler
has only used the cc-setting version when it is actually required.
Thus, unlike CISC processors, there is very little scope for optimization
of the flags -- we might as well compute them immediately.

Move away from CC_OP to explicit computation of conditions.  This is
modeled on target/arm for the (mostly) separate representation of the bits.
We can pack icc.[NV] and xcc.[NV] into the same target_ulong, but Z and C
cannot share.  (For "normal" setting of Z, we could share, but it is
possible to set xcc.Z and !icc.Z via explicit write to %ccr, and for
that we have to have two variables.)

After removing CC_OP, clean up the handling of conditions so that we can
minimize additional setcond required for env->cond.

Finally, inline some division, which can make use of the new out-of-line
exception path, which means we can expand UDIVX and SDIVX with very few
host insns.  The 64/32 UDIV insn needs only a few more.  Leave UDIVcc and
SDIV* out of line, as the overflow and saturation computation in these
cases is really too large to inline.
