If unimplemented, the FMA instructions should be excluded from the decode tables so an illegal instruction assertion will be raised if used:

This should also apply to single and half precision for consistency.

I would suggest making all double precision operations illegal (the strange subset that exists when only DFMA is removed is unlikely to be useful) and then I would consider looking at all the other double precision functional units included (FDIV, FCMP, FCOMP) to see how much more area/power you could save. |

I've revised the PR to more thoroughly remove unused FP units, and explicitly throw illegal instruction exceptions for unsupported types. |
