Thanks. I'll resend this set with the softfloat-related comments addressed
for the two patches that affects (and the remaining unchanged patches
with your Reviewed-by: tag on them).

I'm not sure how well it would fit into being committed to qemu (yet):
it works as a program where you run half of it on real ARM hardware
and the other half under qemu (or valgrind) and it compares register
results after executing instructions by looking at the sigcontext struct
in a signal handler. Plus there's a perl script to generate random
instruction set sequences to feed the test program. It could be made
more automated and independent of having a reference bit of hardware
but I haven't got round to that yet. (Also since it has utility outside of
just testing qemu I'm not sure if it really belongs in the qemu repo.)
