Implement float128_to_uint64() and use that to implement
float128_to_uint64_round_to_zero()

This is required by xscvqpudz instruction of PowerPC ISA 3.0.

I think we should have a float128_squash_input_denormal() function
which we call here (compare float64_to_uint64).

Can you use the QEMU coding style for this rather than following
the softfloat weird one, please?

I'm finding this a bit difficult to understand, because it doesn't
follow the code pattern of (for instance) float64_to_uint64().
Is it based on some other existing function?

This function is OK, though our coding style would suggest putting
the declaration of 'uint64_t v;' at the top of the function.

I followed float128_to_int64() which doesn't have that _denormal() call.

Sure, I will henceforth switch to QEMU coding style, I was under the
impression that we should stick to the existing style since almost
entire softfloat.c is in different style.

As I said above, it is based on float128_to_int64()

Actually what I really need is float128_to_uint64_round_to_zero().

However it is a bit confusing as to which existing routine to follow here.
I see there are 3 different ways floatXX_to_uintYY_round_to_zero is done:

1. Eg float64_to_uint32_round_to_zero()
   Uses float64_to_uint64_round_to_zero()

2. Eg float128_to_int32_round_to_zero()
   Doesn't use float128_to_int32() but instead is implemented
   fully separately.

3. Eg float64_to_uint64_round_to_zero()
   Sets the rounding mode to round-to-zero
   Uses float64_to_uint64()

I don't know if the above variants came about during different points
in time or they are actually implemented that way due to some
subtlety involved. I am following the 3rd pattern above as
I found it to be easier for this particular case (float128_to_uint128)

In fact I need float128_to_uint32() also next, but haven't yet been
able to figure out which way to do it.

Sure will change in the next iteration when I switch to QEMU style.

Ah, I see. I think we've got away without a float128_squash_input_denormal
because the set of targets that use float128 and the set that want
flush_inputs_to_zero happen to be disjoint. Since none of the other
float128 functions do denormal-squashing you're right that we shouldn't
add it in this patch.

Generally we go for "convert bits we touch" for most of the
codebase. softfloat.c has a lot of the old style still because we
haven't needed to touch it very much mostly.

Ah, right. I think that's probably a bad model to copy because
it's a conversion to signed integer, not a conversion to
unsigned integer (so the edge cases are different).

They're mostly different for historical accident. Typically the
original softfloat code implemented conversion functions directly.
When we've added others later we've tended to use one of the
other functions where we can, because it's much easier to review
and be confident that an implementation like that is correct than
one which does direct manipulation of the various fields of the float.

I would do this via float128_to_uint64(), the same way that
float64_to_uint32() does.

I checked the original berkeley implementation and I see that
float128_to_uint64 implementation there also is based on
float128_to_int64 implementation with edge cases being different.

To the best of my understanding, the corner cases for unsigned
int are covered in the above implemenation. Could you please
take a re-look at this ?

Sure, once we have the correct float128_to_uint64(), I will use that
to implement float64_to_uint32().

OK, but that's about 5 times harder to review because I have
to work everything out from scratch rather than being able to
say "yes, this is doing everything the same way that our
existing known-to-be-good other function is doing it".

Fair enough. I will come up with a version of
float128_to_uint64_round_to_zero() based on the existing
float64_to_uint32_round_to_zero().
