Hi Michael,

What cppchecker complains is only concerned with GPR:
gpr32_get/set_common() which is used by tm_cgpr32_get()/gpr32_get().

Cyril's patch changes TM FPR/VR/VSX state saving location to be consistent with 
GPR's.  It doesn't actually modify TM GPR behavior. 

So Cyril's work doesn't relate with this cppchecker complaining issue.


Thanks for the feedback regarding too many ifdefs.  Is following implemention 
better for this issue?
