With VDSP: we use vdsp ld/st instructions to access first 16
128bit-regs and use fpu ld/st instructions to access last 16
64bit-regs.

Identical to 1.

Without VDSP: we use fpu ld/st instructions to access last 32 64bit-regs.

So, there are 96 32bit-vr[] for the struct. And with VDSP or not will
got different storage format.
With VDSP:
vr128[16] // contain first fp64[16]
fp64[16]; // second fp64[16]

Without VDSP:
fp64[32]
no-use for the reset vr[]

Thx for your job, and pushing to linus with Zhenzhong Duan's advice.
