yes: extending the immediate does *not* mean the immediate is now in double
format, it's still single.

imho pfmvsi is the instruction we want (based on frlsi) which is a full
32-bit f32 value. the extra 2 bits of immediate in the 64-bit prefix are
just unused (must be zeros to allow for future extension).

there just won't be a pfmvis instruction, just like there isn't a poris
instruction.
