x86: Fix loading of floating point constants

This changeset actually fixes two issues:

 * The lfpimm instruction didn't work correctly when applied to a
   floating point constant (it did work for integers containing the
   bit string representation of a constant) since it used
   reinterpret_cast to convert a double to a uint64_t. This caused a
   compilation error, at least, in gcc 4.6.3.

 * The instructions loading floating point constants in the x87
   processor didn't work correctly since they just stored a truncated
   integer instead of a double in the floating point register. This
   changeset fixes the old microcode by using lfpimm instruction
   instead of the limm instructions.
