Not a PPC expert, but this doesn't look right; for instance if you change
the rounding mode by fiddling with the FPSCR in the debugger this
won't update the softfloat rounding mode settings. (that is, it lets the
visible state in env->fpscr get out of sync with the hidden state of the
model). Also we probably shouldn't be letting the debugger change
reserved fpscr bits.
(Side note: linux-user/signal.c:restore_user_regs() appears to have
a similar fpscr-related bug.)
