Summary:
This is because the FP64A the hardware will redirect 32-bit reads/writes
from/to odd-numbered registers to the upper 32-bits of the corresponding
even register. In effect, simulating FR=0 mode when FR=0 mode is not
available.
Unfortunately, we have to make the decision to avoid mfc1/mtc1 before
register allocation so we currently do this for even registers too.
FPXX has a similar requirement on 32-bit architectures that lack
mfhc1/mthc1 so this patch also handles the affected moves from the FPU for
FPXX too. Moves to the FPU were supported by an earlier commit.

enabled and mthc1 and dmtc1 are not available (e.g. on MIPS32r1)
This prevents the upper 32-bits of a double precision value from being moved to
the FPU with mtc1 to an odd-numbered FPU register. This is necessary to ensure
that the code generated executes correctly regardless of the current FPU mode.
MIPS32r2 and above continues to use mtc1/mthc1, while MIPS-IV and above continue
to use dmtc1.
