/* Tuning for a given CPU XXXX consists of:
- adding new CPU into:
- adding PROCESSOR_XXX to processor_type (in i386.h)
- possibly adding XXX into CPU attribute in i386.md
- adding XXX to processor_alias_table (in i386.c)
- introducing ix86_XXX_cost in i386.c
- Stringop generation table can be build based on test_stringop
- script (once rest of tuning is complete)
- designing a scheduler model in
- XXXX.md file
- Updating ix86_issue_rate and ix86_adjust_cost in i386.md
- possibly updating ia32_multipass_dfa_lookahead, ix86_sched_reorder
and ix86_sched_init_global if those tricks are needed.
- Tunning the flags bellow. Those are split into sections and each
section is very roughly ordered by importance. */
