--- Comment #28 from Carl Love <cel@us.ibm.com> ---
Posted a patch to replace the bcdadd instruction generation in Valgrind with
vand.  This patch allows us to run a bcd add test on a power 7 (big endian)
machine to test the ISA 3.0 code that calls is_BCDstring128() function to see
if the function pointer stuff for clean helpers is broken on the older big
endian machines.   

Also posted the compiled bcd_test.c test program.  I ran the patch and binary
bcd_test program on a Power 7.  It does appear to segfault the same as we are
seeing on Power 8 BE.  Note, this was done WITH OUT Mark's patch applied.
