+Summary
+
* FP32 is converted to FP64. Requires SV to be active.
* FP16 needed
* FCVT between 16/32/64 needed
Usually done with a fmt field, 2 bit, last one is FP128
+idea: rather than add dozens of new opcodes, add "repurposer" instructions that remap FP32 to 16/32/64/128 and FP64 likewise. can also be done as C instruction, only needs 4 bits to specify.

# Escape Sequencing
Absolutely critical, also to have official endorsement from OpenPower Foundation.
