The RS6000 backend now supports the -mcpu=future option to enable experimental processor features that may be present in future Power processors. A new target predicate, future, gates built-in functions based on this option. This allows developers to experiment with and evaluate new features. The -mcpu=future option also sets the .machine attribute.
