[llvm-dev] multiply-accumulate instruction

Do you only want to define assembler syntax for this, or do you need to be
able to be able to automatically emit it from some higher level construct?
I'd expect the former would be entirely sufficient, in which case this
should be sufficient:

let Predicates = [HasLeon3, HasLeon4], Defs = [Y, ASR18], Uses = [Y, ASR18]
in

def SMACrr :  F3_1<3, 0b111110,

                (outs IntRegs:$rd), (ins IntRegs:$rs1, IntRegs:$rs2),

                 "smac $rs1, $rs2, $rd",

                 []>;


If you want the latter, I'm not sure how you'd go about being able to
pattern-match it, because of the unusual 40 bit accumulate input and
output, and the unusual for sparc 16-bit inputs. Hopefully you don't really
need that. :)
