Before SPARC V9 the effect of having a delayed branch instruction in the
delay slot of a conditional delayed branch was undefined.
In SPARC V9 DCTI couples are well defined.
However, starting with the UltraSPARC Architecture 2005, DCTI
couples (of all kind) are deprecated and should not be used, as they may
be slow or behave differently to what the programmer expects.
This patch adds a new command line option --dcti-couples-detect to `as',
disabled by default, that makes the assembler to warn the user if an
unpredictable DCTI couple is found. Tests and documentation are
included.

and %hstick_enable to the Sparc assembler.
* config/tc-sparc.c (hpriv_reg_table): Added entries for
%hstick_offset and %hstick_enable.

%hstick_enable hyperprivileged registers.

gas/
* config/tc-sparc.c (hwcap_allowed): New.
(struct sparc_arch): New field 'hwcap_allowed' containing a bitmask
of F_FOO flags which are enabled by the particular arch setting.
Add new options that provide explicit access to new instructions.
(md_parse_option): Only bump max_architecture if the requested one
is larger, or this is the first explicit request.
(get_hwcap_name): New function.

rather than occaisionally 'levels'. Consistently refer to Sun's
UNIX variant as SunOS, every version of Solaris is also SunOS.
Document new 'softint_clear' and 'softint_set' aliases. Clarify
which architecture versions support '%dcr', '%cq', and '%gl'. Add
section on 32-bit/64-bit opcode translations.
