Yeah, I didn't actually check. I hope it's b2i + i2d though since that
could be done in one op on NVIDIA :) Oh, and to pre-empt the question,
the reason why there's a d2b is that doubles can represent numbers
smaller than float, so d2f might come out as 0 even though the double
!= 0. However no such problem exists in the reverse direction.
