       Dear Wilco,

> Also keeping the workload line means we get more accurate benchmark

however, it makes difficult to compare to other functions which don't have
the workload line, for example sinf. Why don't all float functions have the
same workload?

zimmerma@tomate:/localdisk/zimmerma/glibc/benchtests$ grep workload *f-inputsexp2f-inputs:## name: workload-spec2017.wrf
expf-inputs:## name: workload-spec2017.wrf
log2f-inputs:## name: workload-spec2017.wrf
logf-inputs:## name: workload-spec2017.wrf
powf-inputs:## name: workload-spec2006.wrf
