> No, I don't think we need that guard. loadDouble/storeDouble use that because MIPS-I does not contain the ldc1 (resp. sdc1) instruction, and therefore two lwc1 (resp swc1) instructions are used instead for the MIPS-I version. In loadFloat/storeFloat, we do not use ldc1/sdc1, and all the instructions that we use are MIPS-I compatible AFAIK, so there's no need for an alternative version.
> You can see that the pre-existing loadFloat/storeFloat with a BaseIndex argument don't have such a guard either, for the same reasons.

> Another way to put it: the need for special cases for MIPS-I only exists when dealing with doubles. The fact of using an ImplicitAddress instead of a BaseIndex does not incur this need. 
> 
> Another debate is whether we still want to support MIPS-I, I don't know if there still are many devices using that where it makes sense to use webkit, though I could be wrong, because, hey, we have these guards in the code.

Make sense.
