My vote goes to adding PowerPC specific tests. I already made some and sent 
them to the list a couple of days ago. A general purpose floating point test 
suite would probably not be able to test things like PowerPC floating point 
flags. 

I'm not certain how we would add floating point tests to QEMU. I'm guessing it 
would involve some kind of bootable image file that would load and run the 
tests. Hopefully there is an easier way to implement testing.
