[Mono-dev] genmdesc for MPC8xx

[Matt Johnson]

So what, do I just remove the definitions for the ones that don't exist?  That seems somewhat barbaric... Not a lot of confidence that would work.
 
A lot of them in the existing cpu-g4.md are defined as floating point.  There are no floating point registers on my processor, so should I kill those as well?
 
What's the best way to test this once I get it to build?
 
Any way to go about this with a little more certainty?  I doubt the existing files were built with this sort of trial and error.
 
Thanks
-Matt

Most likely the differences in this CPU are fairly minimal compared to
the PowerPC port that we have.

My suggestion would be to identify which instructions might not be
present in the CPU and just modify the existing code generator.
