uitofp and sitofp rounding mode

#1

When the uitofp and sitofp instructions convert e.g. from i64 to
float, what rounding mode do they use? Answers in the form a patch to
LangRef.html would be great!

Thanks,
Jay.

The default rounding mode, just like every other floating-point operation.

Except, of course, that the default rounding mode for an FP->integer conversion is different than the default rounding mode on, say, an FADD. FP->integer conversions are round-to-zero, while FP arithmetic operations are round-nearest-ties-to-even.
