[PATCH 6/10][v6] powerpc/Power7: detect load/store instructions

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu
Date: Fri Aug 23 2013 - 21:35:02 EST


Implement instr_is_load_store_2_06() to detect whether a given instruction
is one of the fixed-point or floating-point load/store instructions in the
POWER Instruction Set Architecture v2.06.

This function will be used in a follow-on patch to save memory hierarchy
information of the load/store on a Power7 system. (Power8 systems set some
bits in the SIER to identify load/store operations and hence don't need a
similar functionality).

Based on optimized code from Michael Ellerman and comments from Tom Musta.

Changelog[v6]
- [David Laight, Anshuman Khandual] Add a comment in function
header to help better understand which instructions are selected
by the instr_is_load_store_2_06().
- [Michael Ellerman, Tom Musta]: Optmize the implementation to
avoid for loop.
