From the BDW PRM, Workarounds chapter:
"DF->f format conversion for Align16 has wrong emask calculation when
source is immediate."
Notice that Broadwell and later are strictly scalar at the moment though, so
this is not really necessary.
v2: Instead of moving the immediate to a vgrf and converting from there, just
convert the double immediate to float in the compiler and move the result
to the destination (Matt)
