[OE-core] [CONSOLIDATED PULL 30/43] qemu: Backport a patch to solve SSE2 instruction emulation issues

From: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie at linuxfoundation.org>

This fix addresses various issues seen in qemux86-64 images:
 * scroll bars in matchbox-terminal not working
 * files not appearing in pcmanfm
 * warnings on the console from glib/gobject about invalid gdouble values

Its due to an emulation issue in qemu which the backported patch fixes.

[YOCTO #1906]

+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] target-i386: fix {min,max}{pd,ps,sd,ss} SSE2 instructions
+
+minpd, minps, minsd, minss and maxpd, maxps, maxsd, maxss SSE2
+instructions have been broken when switching target-i386 to softfloat.
+It's not possible to use comparison instructions on float types anymore
+to softfloat, so use the floatXX_lt function instead, as the
+float_XX_min and float_XX_max functions can't be used due to the Intel
+specific behaviour.
+
+As it implements the correct NaNs behaviour, let's remove the
+corresponding entry from the TODO.
+
+It fixes GDM screen display on Debian Lenny.
+
+Thanks to Peter Maydell and Jason Wessel for their analysis of the
+problem.
