+==================== work087, patch #2:
+
+Add options to control load/store vector pair generation.
+
+This patch adds options to allow disabling generating either the load
+vector pair instructions (lxvp, lxvpx, plxvp) or the store vector pair
+instructions (stxvp, stxvpx, pstxvp).

+==================== work087, patch #1:
+
+Eliminate power8 fusion options, use power8 tuning, PR target/102059
+
+This is V4 of the patch.  Compared to V3 of the patch, GCC will just
+ignore -m{,no-}power8-fusion and -m{,no-}power8-fusion-sign.
+
+The splitting of signed halfword and word loads into unsigned load and
+sign extension is now suppressed with -Os, but it is done normally if we
+are not optimizing for space.
+
+The power8 fusion support used to be set automatically when -mcpu=power8 or
+-mtune=power8 was used, and it was cleared for other cpu's.  However, if you
+used the target attribute or target #pragma to change the default cpu type or
+tuning, you would get an error that a target specifiction option mismatch
+occurred.
+
+This occurred because the rs6000_can_inline_p function just compares the ISA
+bits between the called inline function and the caller.  If the ISA flags of
+the called function is not a subset of the ISA flags of the caller, we won't do
+the inlinging.  When a power9 or power10 function inlines a function that is
+explicitly compiled for power8, the power8 function has the power8 fusion bits
+set and the power9 or power10 functions do not have the fusion bits set.
+
+This code makes the -mpower8-fusion option a nop.  It is accepted without
+warning, but it does nothing.  Power8 fusion is only enabled if we are tuning
+for a power8.
+
+The undocumented -mpower8-fusion-sign option is also made into a nop.
+
+I left in the pragma target and attribute target support for power8-fusion, but
+using it doesn't do anything now.  This is because I told the customer who
+encountered this problem that one solution was to add an explicit
+no-power8-fusion option in their target pragma or attribute to work around the
+problem.
+
+I have tested this patch on a little endian power10 system.  I have tested
+previous versions on little endian power9 and big endian power8 systems.
+Can I apply this patch to the master branch?
+
+If it is accepted, I will produce a similar patch for back porting to GCC 11
+and GCC 10.
