Not a final review but if we care for this kind of normalization at all the we should do so consistently, thus for both encode and interpret and for all modes. For FP we could also check if we'd consider the values equal rather than whether we would en/decode them to the same bit pattern (which might or might not be what an actual ISA gpr<->fpr reg move would do)
