I installed the rs6000.md movsf expander fix a few minutes ago to both the
branch and the mainline sources.

I briefly played with tweaking PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS per my suggestion for
the mainline tree  It caused some problems building lapack, but I did not
investigate them in any detail.  It may simply be the case that I didn't tweak
PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS correctly.  I'll file it away and take a look at it
in the future when we're not trying to get a release out the door :-)

I've also identified the code generation bug which is causing tests to fail.
We're using r0 as a base register in an indexed memory reference.  I've got
a lapack test running right now (looks good so far).  I'll send a more detailed
analysis and patch shortly.
