21 /* Tuning for a given CPU XXXX consists of:
22 - adding new CPU into:
23 - adding PROCESSOR_XXX to processor_type (in i386.h)
24 - possibly adding XXX into CPU attribute in i386.md
25 - adding XXX to processor_alias_table (in i386.c)
26 - introducing ix86_XXX_cost in i386.c
27 - Stringop generation table can be build based on test_stringop
28 - script (once rest of tuning is complete)
29 - designing a scheduler model in
31 - Updating ix86_issue_rate and ix86_adjust_cost in i386.md
32 - possibly updating ia32_multipass_dfa_lookahead, ix86_sched_reorder
33 and ix86_sched_init_global if those tricks are needed.
34 - Tunning the flags bellow. Those are split into sections and each
