commit 656b84c2ef525e3b69802c9057c5897e327b0332
Author: Wilco Dijkstra <wdijkstr@arm.com>

    This patch adds new function libc_feholdsetround_noex_aarch64_ctx, enabling
    further optimization. libc_feholdsetround_aarch64_ctx now only needs to
    read the FPCR in the typical case, avoiding a redundant FPSR read.
    Performance results show a good improvement (5-10% on sin()) on cores with
    expensive FPCR/FPSR instructions.
