Kevin is right. We have decided that if constrained intrinsics are used 
anywhere in a function they must be used throughout the function. Otherwise, 
there would be nothing to prevent the non-constrained FP operations from 
migrating across constrained operations and the handling could get botched. The 
"relaxed" arguments ("round.tonearest" and "fpexcept.ignore") should be used 
where the default settings would apply. The front end should also be setting 
the "strictfp" attribute on calls within a constrained scope and, I think, 
functions that contain constrained intrinsics.

We will need to teach the inliner to enforce this rule if it isn't already 
doing so, but if things aren't correct coming out of the front end an incorrect 
optimization could already happen before we get to the inliner. We always rely 
on the front end producing IR with fully correct semantics.
