   I may change things to pass the address around in the float package.   
   Putting the address into the NaN later may cause issues with timing. It   
   adds a mux into things. May be better to use the original NaN mux in the   
   float modules. May call it a NaN identity field instead of an address.   
      
   Modified NaN support in the float package to store to the HOBs.   
      
   Survey says:   
      
   The Qulps PUSH and POP instructions have room for six register fields.   
   Should one of the fields be used to identify the stack pointer register   
   allowing five registers to be pushed or popped? Or should the stack   
   pointer register be assumed so that six registers may be pushed or popped?   
      
   I think the SP should be identified as PUSH / POP would be the only   
   instructions assuming the SP register. Otherwise any register could be   
   chosen by the compiler.
