Firstly, sorry for too long time to no response about tilegx.

During latest 2 years, I turned to android development (custom aosp with
java/c++/c, merge android and linux together), and revert engineering
about android (java/c).

At present, sorry, I really have no time for tilegx any more. :(

For me, tilegx is still a good platform, and we have done much things,
now, so if we can find another maintainers/volunteers for it, I hope
qemu can still support tilegx.

By the way, for floating point instructions patches, I have sent before
(2 years ago), it seems I did not get any reply. I hope they are useful
for tilegx.

Thanks.
