What we need to do is run some benchmarks and decide if LOAD_EXTEND_OP
should be removed, or (much more likely) we remove (or obfuscate) the
bits that claims that we can load SImode values into FP registers.
I'd very strongly recommend the latter. I've seens lots of other problems
with SImode in FP.
