No one could tell me which one was the master and it appeared that some work was in cgen/cpu/ but not in cpu/, so I arbitrarily chose to work in cgen/cpu/. It doesn't matter to us (Red Hat) where the copyright lies for this port, so feel free to bring cpu/ up to date and make it the master if you please. Dave
