Changeset 8962:1c063dca6858 --------------------------- X86: Runtime read, write conditions for CCFlagBits register This patch introduces runtime read, write conditions for CCFlagBits register. The main idea is that each microop, while being used in the microcode, should specify the condition code flags it would read and write. On the basis of this info, at runtime, it would be decided which condition code registers should be read and written. This would help in reducing the extent of RAW dependence while using the o3 cpu with x86. Currently, the flags that would read and written are specified together. Next couple of patches would try to look in to splitting the flags in to read and write sets and split the ccFlagBits register.
