minpd, minps, minsd, minss and maxpd, maxps, maxsd, maxss SSE2
instructions have been broken when switching target-i386 to softfloat.
It's not possible to use comparison instructions on float types anymore
to softfloat, so use the floatXX_lt function instead, as the
float_XX_min and float_XX_max functions can't be used due to the Intel
specific behaviour.
As it implements the correct NaNs behaviour, let's remove the
corresponding entry from the TODO.
It fixes GDM screen display on Debian Lenny.
Thanks to Peter Maydell and Jason Wessel for their analysis of the
problem.

kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.
Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch.
