+The floating point status register (FSR) specifies
 the behavior of the floating point unit for rounding, contains
 its condition codes, version specification, and trap information.
 
+According to the ABI all floating point registers and the floating point status
+register (FSR) are volatile.  Thus the floating point context of a thread is the
+empty set.  The rounding direction is a system global state and must not be
+modified by threads.

 A queue of the floating point instructions which have
 started execution but not yet completed is maintained.  This
 queue is needed to support the multiple cycle nature of floating
