or quad numbered accesses are allowed. For example, @samp{%f34}
is a legal floating point register, but @samp{%f35} is not.
Floating point registers accessed as double can also be referred using
the @samp{%d@var{n}} notation, where @var{n} is even. Similarly,
floating point registers accessed as quad can be referred using the
@samp{%q@var{n}} notation, where @var{n} is a multiple of 4. For
example, @samp{%f4} can be denoted as both @samp{%d4} and @samp{%q4}.
On the other hand, @samp{%f2} can be denoted as @samp{%d2} but not as
@samp{%q2}.
Certain V9 instructions allow access to ancillary state registers.
Most simply they can be referred to as @samp{%asr@var{n}} where
@var{n} can be from 16 to 31. However, there are some aliases
