I don't particularly like it either, I just thought it was a bit
more efficient, given the current state of TCG.

If it's not acceptable, I can try to do some macro magic in both
op_helper.c and helper.h to do function replication on the /u,/su,/sui
bits and then follow your lead on the lazy rounding mode setting.

Yes, I can.  I'll see about setting this up tonight.
