The manual says "The lower 64 bits of each vector register overlap with the floating point

When the basic floating-point instruction is executed to update the floating-point
register, the low 64 bits of the corresponding LSX register
are also updated to the same value."
So If we don't use the fpr_t. we should:
1 Update LSX low 64 bits after floating point instruction translation;
2 Update floating-point registers after LSX instruction translation.
Should we do this or have I misunderstood?
You should use fpr_t, you should not use cpu_fpr[].
This is the same as aarch64, for instance.
A related question though: does the manual mention whether the fpu instructions only
modify the lower 64 bits, or do the high 64-bits become zeroed, nanboxed, or unspecified?
I strongly suggest that you introduce wrappers to load/store fpr values from their env
slots. I would name them similarly to gpr_{src,dst}, gen_set_gpr.
Got it.
