This is an "impossible" state to reach unless your hardware is on fire.
One or more of the FCSR Cause bits will have been set (in `fcr31') or the
FPE exception would not have happened.

Of course there could be a simulator bug, or we could have breakage
somewhere causing `process_fpemu_return' to be called with SIGFPE and
inconsistent `fcr31'. So we need to handle it somehow.

So what would be the right value of `si_code' to use here for such an
unexpected exception condition? I think `BUG()' would be too big a
hammer here. Or wouldn't it?
