You might also consider using/extending the risu test cases for
ppc64 -- individual checks of each insn against a known-good
implementation can be easier to track down bugs than trying
to figure out why a higher-level test suite like the glibc one
has reported a failure, IME. (There are already risu patterns
for XSCVDPSP and XSCVDPSPN, so I think that bug at least ought
to be found by risu if you run it against the right h/w as
known-good reference...)
