I would like to see it in <machine/ieeefp.h>:

The synopsis section of our manpage clearly states the inclusion
of <ieeefp.h>. That header file includes a machine dependent
counterpart <machine/ieeefp.h>. On alpha, ia64 and sparc64
<machine/floatingpoint.h> is empty with the exception of the
inclusion of <machine/ieeefp.h>.

Hence, I would like to see the prototypes and/or implementation
in <machine/ieeefp.h>. Since on i386 <machine/floatingpoint.h>
also includes <machine/ieeefp.h>, we should be able to move
the implementation on i386 to <machine/ieeefp.h> as well. If
possible, I'd like to see <machine/floatingpoint.h> retired
unless there's a compelling reason to keep it...
