The rules of the

15-17, specify that the equivalent
of a __float128 or __m128 should be split into two classes, with the lower half 
being SSE and the upper half
being SSEUP, hence the two can be merged into a single XMM register.

FPC does not have a way to specify equivalent types of either __float128 or __m128 at this time. FPC needs either a dedicated vector type or an array modifier (similar to "packed") to represent vector types. Otherwise it becomes very muddy regarding which types should be/are treated as vectors and which as plain plain arrays in context of ABI specifications.
