Better to swap the tests here, so that you test the exception flags first (and
once). That is the exceptional condition, the one that will be true least
often. After that, FCR31_NAN2008 will be tested only when needed.
But also, this pattern is replicated so many times you'd do well to pull this
sequence out to helper functions (one for s, one for d).

Here you're better off using two separate helper functions, and chose the
correct one during translation. Indeed, since the 2008 version is a simple
bit-flip, you needn't actually have a helper; just expand the sequence inline.
