In the world of GlobalISel, i64 and double are both s64, so "load i64" 
and "load double" are the same operation; if one is Legal, both are 
Legal.  This should just work, barring any bugs.

The resulting code will probably be low-quality because there isn't any 
good way to lower the resulting transfers between SSE and integer 
registers, but you can put off dealing with that for now.
