Not that much work. Most of it segues nicely into the previous work I did supporting the XMM floating point code gen. What is this previous work you speak of? Is there already XMM stuff in there somewhere?
On 64-bit, floats are stored in XMM registers (just as single scalars). I don't think it does any vectorization yet though. It does mean that the register allocation of those registers is already complete though.
