Thanks for providing an updated webrev and for fixing indentation and function
order in assembler_ppc.inline.hpp as well. I have no further comments :)


Best Regards,
Gustavo

Instruction APIs receiving VRs use the to_vr via vecX. Another thing is the change in sqrtF_reg to enable the matching with SqrtVF. I think the change in sqrtF_reg would be fine due to the ConvD2FNode::Value in convertnode.cpp.
