* New MI man page for fp{set,get}{round,sticky,mask}(3).
* Implement fpgetsticky() for alpha.
* Direct fpsetsticky() and fp{get,set}mask() into alpha kernel via sysarch(2).
* Define new sysarch(2) stub for above and install and distribute sysarch.h
for alpha.  (The fpcr IS user mode r/w, but for reasons beyond the scope
of a commit message kernel calls are needed.) And much kernel Magick is
required before these do anything, but this way programs compiled under
1.4 will DTRT on future snapshots and releases.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+A rounding mode is one of
+.Dv FP_RZ , FP_RM , FP_RN ,
+or
+.Dv FP_RP ,
+for rounding towards zero, rounding
+.Pq Em Minus infinity
+down, rounding to
+.Em nearest ,
+and rounding 
+.Pq Em Plus infinity
+up.
+The default mode is
+.Dv FP_RN .
+.Pp
+An
+.Ft fp_except
+value is a bitmask specifying an exception type and containing any of
+the values listed below.

+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fpsetmask
+function will cause future operations with the specified result status to
+raise the
+.Dv SIGFPE
+exception.
+The
+.Fn fpsetround
+function will cause future operations to use the specified dynamic mode.
+.Bl -tag -width Note:x
+.It Em Note:
+On some architectures, instructions can optionally specify static
+rounding modes and exception enables that will supersede the specified
+dynamic mode. On other architectures, these features may not be fully
+supported.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fpsetsticky
+function will set or clear the specified exception history bits.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn fpgetround
+and
+.Fn fpsetround
+functions return the
+.Pq previous
+rounding mode.
+The
+.Fn fpgetmask ,
+.Fn fpsetmask ,
+.Fn fpgetsticky ,
+and
+.Fn fpsetsticky
+functions return the
+.Pq previous
+exception mask and exception history bits.
