This looks Ok for mainline too. Fortunately, this patch looks
"obvious", but in future it might be nice to try testing on one
of the tree's three(?) partial int mode targets, if you can't report
bootstrap or regression test results for your internal port. Just
in case, they rely on the previous incorrect behaviour.
Admittedly there's a strange chicken-and-egg situation where you
need to get your new port working before you can report that it's
testsuite results don't show any regressions :)
Thanks again,
Roger
