'mtfsf' instruction can clear FI incorrectly

Using mtfsf instruction can clear the FPSCR FI bit incorrectly.  This code snippet exhibits the issue:
--
  fpscr.ll = 0x1fffffff;
  __builtin_mtfsf (0b11111111, fpscr.d);
  fpscr.d = __builtin_mffs ();
--

On POWER9 hardware:
mffs    : FPSCR = 0x000000007ffff7ff

On qemu (git master; "-cpu POWER9"):
--
$ ./mtfsf
mffs    : FPSCR = 0x000000007ffdffff
--

Two differences:
bit 52: "reserved", so maybe a "don't care" case
bit 46: "FI"

I tracked the clear is coming from do_float_check_status, likely the one in gen_mtfsf, but then I get lost figuring out what _should_ be happening. :-/

Test attached.
