Sorry for the late reply. I meant not disallowing the old forms when 
assembling, but rather removing the workaround when disassembling -- I 
can't see a reason why FCSR0 ~ FCSR3 could be displayed as-is, but other 
unassigned but possible FCSR numbers still get displayed as GPRs; is it 
that you're following the ISA manual's exact wording that says there are 
only 4 FCSRs? In any case I find the special treatment a surprise and 
not very pleasant.
