hmmm not unless the SIGFPE is eanbled by the MSR FE bits. So we will
need to call __fe_nomask_env() in feupdateenv similar to what we do in
feenableexcept(). Probably should add the __fe_mask_env() call for when
the application remasks FP exceptions. This allows the hardware to run
faster when we are taking the default action.

I will rework the patch.
