SPE scalar float instructions

Currently, the SPE scalar float instructions are predicated on
TARGET_HARD_FLOAT && !TARGET_FPRS (and TARGET_E500_DOUBLE for DFmode)
but not on TARGET_SPE.  This can cause problems in an embedded context
- as one of CodeSourcery's customers points out,

I'm wondering if TARGET_SPE should be added to the controlling
condition for all those instructions.  Thoughts?
