Hi,

The microMIPS port benefits from an additional peephole2 pass.  Sched2 exposes some opportunities to recognize the movep instruction.
Does  this look okay to commit?

Thanks,
Catherine

Not really. The purpose of peephole2 was to do peephole optimizations
before *final* scheduling. Maybe this patch works for MIPS, but you
could seriously ruin performance on machines where scheduling matters.
(And even on MIPS, how do you handle pipeline hazards?)

Ciao!
