We currently start by assuming that the host owns the FP unit
at load time, then check again whether this is the case as
we are about to run. Only at this point do we account for the
fact that there is a (vanishingly small) chance that we're running
on a system without a FPSIMD unit (yes, this is madness).
We can actually move this FPSIMD check as early as load-time,
and drop the check at run time.
No intended change in behaviour.
