-"converting 64-bit constant pool entry to 32-bit not necessarily beneficial"
-http://llvm.org/PR1264
-
-For this test case:
-
-define double @foo(double %x) {
-        %y = mul double %x, 5.000000e-01
-        ret double %y
-}
-
-llc -march=x86-64 currently produces a 32-bit constant pool entry and this code:
-
-        cvtss2sd .LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm1
-        mulsd %xmm1, %xmm0
-
-instead of just using a 64-bit constant pool entry with this:
-
-        mulsd .LCPI1_0(%rip), %xmm0
-
-This is due to the code in ExpandConstantFP in LegalizeDAG.cpp. It notices that
-x86-64 indeed has an instruction to load a 32-bit float from memory and convert
-it into a 64-bit float in a register, however it doesn't notice that this isn't
-beneficial because it prevents the load from being folded into the multiply.
