That will work but I'd prefer the checks to be added where the code depends on the value for two reasons. The first is that we'll have to move the checks to these places when we come to support FP64 anyway. The second is that it doesn't make sense to have to fall back on SelectionDAG for operations that don't involve the FPU (e.g. integer addition) just because the FPU is in 64-bit mode.

I'd like you to either confirm that the bug can't occur for Fast ISel or use ExtractElementF64/ExtractElementF64_64 instead of MFC1 so that we use the workaround from expandExtractElementF64().
