I just resigned from D88819 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D88819>, in case people would like to move ahead with it. In terms of testing I've verified that x264 opportunity can be caught on POWER, however I do not have access to other architectures, which is why I would appreciate help on testing on other platforms.

I have been following both the reviews.... 
What are  x264 numbers for both the patches on POWER?
