Right, I did actually think about that one a bit since Compute capability
1.3 does include doubles, but I figured that since we do not support doubles
on nv50 at all that that would not be an issue, guess I should have
mentioned this in one of the commit messages.

You're welcome, this was a fun learning experience for me and I look
forward to doing more work on the codegen bits in the future. But for now
I will be spending my time on a tgsi backend for llvm, so sorry I will
not be looking into:

Anytime soon, but I do plan to work more on the codegen code in the
future. I will make sure to coordinate with you when I have time to
work on codegen again to avoid doing double work.

Regards,

Hans
