Hrm.  Why did that not show up with ubsan then though?  (Or maybe it did,
and I just never heard).

-  "operands[2] = GEN_INT (1 << (75 - REGNO (operands[0])));")
+  "operands[2] = GEN_INT (1 << (7 - (REGNO (operands[0]) - CR0_REGNO)));")

The constant is the bitmask of which CR fields to save/restore (always
one here, but the insn allows any combination).

Committing that patch later today.  Thanks for the report!
