* simplifies registers to have GPR, Float and Double, by removing the SSE2 and X87 Constructors * makes -msse2 assumed/default for x86 platforms, fixing a long standing nondeterminism in rounding behavior in 32bit haskell code * removes the 80bit floating point representation from the supported float sizes * theres still 1 tiny bit of x87 support needed, for handling float and double return values in FFI calls wrt the C ABI on x86_32, but this one piece does not leak into the rest of NCG. * Lots of code thats not been touched in a long time got deleted as a consequence of all of this all in all, this change paves the way towards a lot of future further improvements in how GHC handles floating point computations, along with making the native code gen more accessible to a larger pool of contributors.
