Sure, but there wasn't any duplication of code in the first patch, only
the FP register notes introduce that possibility.

OK, I'll fix that. I thought I tested this already, but maybe not, as
I didn't check FP registers for every test case in the matrix in the
cover letter.

I don't know, but it should be easy to avoid writing them when FP
isn't present, based on some status, so I'll look into doing that.
