The existing scheduler bypass information for madd on the 74k uses some

contribute this to the FSF; ok for mainline?
Sorry to ask, but do you have a record of why? Reason I ask is that...

Sigh, I wasn't able to find any detailed rationale for this patch.
However, the "DSP ALU scheduling" patch I posted separately gives a clue
what the intent was as it also uses mips_mult_madd_chain_bypass_p to
give different behavior pre- and post-reload:
+;; Before reload, all multiplier is registered as imul3 (which has a long
+;; latency). We temporary jig the latency such that the macc groups
+;; are scheduled closely together during the first scheduler pass.

If this is incorrect or looks like a hack to paper over some other
problem, I'd be happy to drop the predicate on these bits too. WDYT?
