+When we have ppc64 working properly, it could produce the nicer code:
+
+_foo:
+        fctiwz f0, f1
+        stfd f0, -8(r1)
+        lwz r4, -4(r1)
+        extsh r4, r4
+        std r4, -16(r1)
+        lfd f1, -16(r1)
+        fcfid f0, f0
+        frsp f0, f0
+        blr
+
+Note: this would speed up SingleSource/Misc/pi by about 30%
