The FP status register allows for 6 traps to be masked. One of them,
the denormal/unnormal trap, is not a standard IEEE trap. We did
not exclude it from being returned by fpgetmask(), nor did we make
sure that fpsetmask() didn't clobber it. Since the non-IEEE trap
is not part of fp_except_t, users of ifpgetmask()/fpsetmask() would
be confronted with unexpected behaviour, one of which is a SIGFPE
for denormal/unnormal FP results.

This commit makes sure that we don't leak the denormal/unnormal mask
bit in fp_except_t and also that we don't clobber it.
