+qemu-ppc: Scalar Single-Precision Floating-Point instructions should not test  MSR[SPV]
+
+According to "Signal Processing Engine (SPE) Programming Environments Manual" at
+http://cache.nxp.com/files/32bit/doc/ref_manual/SPEPEM.pdf?fsrch=1&sr=1&pageNum=1
+
+c.f section 4.2.3  and also Figure 2-2.
+
+When MSR[SPV] is _NOT_ set, then the embedded scalar single-precision floating-point instructions
+should _NOT_ generate an Embedded Floating-Point Unavailable Interrupt.
+
+
+Hence, some tests for MSR[SPV] in file target-ppc/translate.c need to be removed.
+Namely, in the definitions of 
+1. GEN_SPEFPUOP_ARITH2_32_32
+2. gen_efsabs
+3. gen_efsnabs
+4. gen_efsneg
+5. GEN_SPEFPUOP_COMP_32
+
+Note, the macro GEN_SPEFPUOP_CONV_32_32 is already correct.
+
+One more thing, afaict the macro GEN_SPEFPUOP_CONV_32_64 is used by both
+efs- and efd- instructions, and will need to be split in two versions.
+The efs-use (i.e for efscfd) should be as it is today, but the use by efd-instructions 
+(e.g efdctui) will need to add a test for MSR[SPV].
+
+
+
+(I've looked at today's HEAD-revision of target-ppc/translate.c).
