+  |// This can be inlined if the CPU has the frin/friz/frip/frim instructions.
+  |// The alternative hard-float approaches have a deep dependency chain.
+  |// The resulting latency is at least 3x-7x the double-precision FP latency
+  |// (e500v2: 6cy, e600: 5cy, Cell: 10cy) or around 20-70 cycles.
+  |//
+  |// The soft-float approach is tedious, but much faster (e500v2: ~11cy/~6cy).
+  |// However it relies on a fast way to transfer the FP value to GPRs
+  |// (e500v2: 0cy for lo-word, 1cy for hi-word).
