This patch is the machine independent patch for libgcc to add IEEE 128-bit
floating point to the PowerPC.

This patch allows the PowerPC port to override the TFtype in quad.h to allow it
to use __float128 instead of attribute ((TF)).  On most of the PowerPC systems,
TFmode by default is the IBM extended double format.

2014-07-15  Michael Meissner  <meissner@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

	* soft-fp/quad.h (TFtype): Allow TFmode to be overridden by the
	machine dependent files.
