Oh, I didn't realize that pass was going to handle instructions not
operating on DF types. That's surprising given its name.

To confirm: with that pass in place it should be save to do a
type-converting SEL (on, say, integer sources and a float destination)
in the IR?

If that's the case, I'll delay committing this patch until lower_d2x
is committed, so that we don't have to remember to revert my patch,
and there's no chance of bugs being fixed on the stable branch but not
in master.
