Huh, no, the insn didn't have length attributes.

This isn't true either.  The split happens depending on altivec, and
in fact when the split occurs we get poor code.

Which means this is only half true.  By removing "F", I effectively
forced all soft-float long double constants to memory.

The patch has been revised and broken into a number of pieces.  I'll
post tomorrow.
