It is out of the scope of this patch I think. Maybe we need a prctl to set NaN2008 status. We are unable to prevent user applications write NAN2008 bits for the "switchable QEMU" as well. So I'd perfer leave it as is, and let this feature go into 6.11 so people can start to use it. This is actually a request from Debian MIPS team so they can get glibc tests run on mismatched NaN hardware.
