Well, it's nicer to hide the details of REAL_VALUE_TYPE, but..
REAL_VALUE_NEGATE needs NEGATE_EXPR. ie. you need to arrange for
tree.h to be included in insn-emit.c. An easy patch to genemit.c,
but is it a good idea? Also, real_arithmetic2 is slower than memset.
Hmm, I suppose I could roll my own dconstm0 or even dfmode_m0_rtx.
Doesn't seem worth it though.
