Probably should be separate patches, but whatever.

That doesn't match what I see here:

  FRT <-  (FRB)
  FRT12 <- 1

i.e.

  farg.ll |= 1ull << (63 - 12);

i.e. mostly preserve the SNAN input.

I'll also note that frin can't properly be implemented with
float_round_nearest_even because it doesn't round to even.
