I have just got the forms from GNU, probably a few days to actually send
it in. I am not too fussed about how to do this particular change,
whatever's easiest.

Please note that this is the comment for CONST_DOUBLE_AS_FLOAT_P, not
CONST_DOUBLE_P. CONST_DOUBLE_AS_INT_P is the predicate to represent a
CONST_DOUBLE being used to store large integers, and, as I understand
it, it will be used if the target does not define TARGET_SUPPORTS_WIDE_INT.

At present, the comment for both CONST_DOUBLE_AS_INT_P and
CONST_DOUBLE_AS_FLOAT_P claim that they are the predicates for
double-int.
