reading through your modifications:

Prefixed (pfmvis and pfrlsi). If so it is recommended that pfmvis load a
full FP32 immediate and pfrlsi extend the lower 32-bits to construct a full
FP64 immediate.

pfmvis loading a full f32 sounds good.

pfrlsi some of the immediate bits need to be the high exponent bits (the
bits that are not in the pfmvis immediate) which aren't low bits...other
than that sounds good.
