Toon was imprecise.  We were not speaking of rounding
(bits 10:11 of fpcr) but rather precision (bits 8:9 of fpcr).

And in any case, rounding _does_ affect every operation.
Just that in 64-bit precision mode, the rounding happens
for the XFmode value of the register, rather than for the
SFmode value of a variable.
