+Overview:
+"""""""""
+
+The ``llvm.arbitrary.fp.convert`` intrinsic performs conversions
+between values whose interpretation differs from their representation
+in LLVM IR. The intrinsic is overloaded on both its return type and first
+argument. Metadata operands describe how the raw bits should be interpreted
+before and after the conversion.

If there are 2 intrinsics, then it's simpler to avoid overlap with existing instructions for IR -> IR (which may be a good thing?)
Isel should be able to fold the 2 into a single exotic->exotic instruction if available for the target no?
