 allocation magic to make the hack go away (e.g. putting additional constraints
 on the result of the movb).

+This function:
+double a(double b) {return (unsigned)b;} 
+compiles to this code:
+
+_a:
+	subq	$8, %rsp
+	cvttsd2siq	%xmm0, %rax
+	movl	$4294967295, %ecx
+	andq	%rcx, %rax
+	cvtsi2sdq	%rax, %xmm0
+	addq	$8, %rsp
+	ret
+
+note the dead rsp adjustments.  Also, there is surely a better/shorter way 
+to clear the top 32-bits of a 64-bit register than movl+andq.  Testcase here:
+
+unsigned long long c(unsigned long long a) {return a&4294967295; }
+
+_c:
+	movl	$4294967295, %ecx
+	movq	%rdi, %rax
+	andq	%rcx, %rax
