Only if you set SZ to 1.  PR controls the size of arithmetic
operations, SZ controls the size of loads and stores.

  fmov   @rN,drM and
  fmov.s @rN,frM

has exactly the same encoding (1111nnnnmmmm1000) (only that m needs to
be even in the 64 bit case), SZ controls which one you get.  See
section 10.37 in the Programming Manual.
