I suspect you can mask out some 'operand size' bits from the
instructions - instead of checking each opcode.

I'm also pretty sure you can't assume the FP register are live.
If a read from userspace faults then there can be a full
process switch - so by the time you try to write to the
FP registers they no longer belong to the current process.

It might be safer and simpler to just enforce the FP
registers be saved and then act on the save area.
I'd guess they get restored in the 'return to userspace'
code.
