We can leave this to 0 as the default for user. Glibc already programs
this register.

This function should indeed do some initialisation rather than relying
on whatever the user set for FPCR.

Here I think we need to leave the default user setting for fpcr as
decided by glibc (or libgcc) when an application starts.

Same here.
