 It would be good to check with hard-float QEMU configured for writable 
FCSR.NAN2008 (which is one way original code was verified) that things 
have not regressed.  And also what happens if once our emulation has 
triggered for the unsupported FCSR.NAN2008 mode, an attempt is made to 
flip the mode bit via ptrace(2), e.g. under GDB, which I reckon our 
emulation permits for non-legacy CPUs (and which I think should not be 
allowed under the new setting).
