Created attachment 127

example implementation in C

Arm v8.3A added an instruction for accelerating JavaScript's ToInt32 operation.
OpenPower could also benefit from adding something like that too, since the
required operation can be easily implemented in hardware but there isn't any
existing instruction sequence that can as efficiently implement that in
software, since the existing instructions all saturate (iirc) instead of
wrapping.
