[PATCH] PowerPC, PR60735: _Decimal64 moves broken on -mspe


In backporting the power8 changes to the 4.8 branch, one of the testers of
these patches noticed that libgcc cannot be built on a linux SPE target.  The
reason was the _Decimal64 type did not have a proper move insn in the SPE
environment.  This patch fixes that issue.  In looking at the patch, I
discovered two other thinkos that are fixed in this patch.

The first problem is the movdf/movdd insns for 32-bit without hardware floating
point, checked whether we had hardware single precision support, when it should
have been checking that we had hardware double precision support.

The second problem was that some of the types believed they could use the
floating point registers in a SPE or software emulation enviornment.  So I
added additional code to turn off the use of the FPRs in this case.

I have done bootstraps and make check on 64-bit PowerPC linux systems with no
regression.  In addition, I tested the code generated using cross compilers to
the Linux SPE system.  Is this patch acceptible to be checked in the trunk (and
to the 4.8 branch when the other patches are approved)?

	PR target/60735
	* config/rs6000/rs6000.c (rs6000_hard_regno_mode_ok): If we have
	software floating point or no floating point registers, do not
	allow any type in the FPRs.  Eliminate a test for SPE SIMD types
	in GPRs that occurs after we tested for GPRs that would never be
	true.

	* config/rs6000/rs6000.md (mov<mode>_softfloat32, FMOVE64):
	Rewrite tests to use TARGET_DOUBLE_FLOAT and TARGET_E500_DOUBLE,
	since the FMOVE64 type is DFmode/DDmode.  If TARGET_E500_DOUBLE,
	specifically allow DDmode, since that does not use the SPE SIMD
	instructions.
