For PPC64, all the wrappers at sysdeps are superfluous: they are
basically the same implementation from math/w_sqrt.c with the
'#ifdef _IEEE_LIBM'. And the power4 version just force the 'fsqrt'
instruction utilization with an inline assembly, which is already
handled by math_private.h __ieee754_sqrt implementation.
This patch helps some math functions performance by adding the libc_fexxx
variant of inline functions to handle both FPU round and exception set/restore
and by using them on the libc_fexxx_ctx functions. It is based on already coded
fexxx family functions for PPC with fpu.
Here is the summary of performance improvements due this patch (measured on a
POWER7 machine):

These two functions oddly test x+1>0 when a double x is >= 0.0, and
similarly when x is negative. I don't see the point of that since the
test should always be true. I also don't see any need to convert x+1
to integer rather than simply using xr+1. Note that the standard
allows these functions to return any value when the input is outside
the range of long long, but it's not too hard to prevent xr+1
overflowing so that's what I've done.
(With rounding mode FE_UPWARD, x+1 can be a lot more than what you
might naively expect, but perhaps that situation was covered by the
x - xrf < 1.0 test.)

This works around the fact that vsx is disabled in current
little-endian gcc. Also, float constants take 4 bytes in memory
vs. 16 bytes for vector constants, and we don't need to write one lot
of masks for double (register format) and another for float (mem
format).

Further replacement of ieee854 macros and unions. These files also
have some optimisations for comparison against 0.0L, infinity and nan.
Since the ABI specifies that the high double of an IBM long double
pair is the value rounded to double, a high double of 0.0 means the
low double must also be 0.0. The ABI also says that infinity and
nan are encoded in the high double, with the low double unspecified.
This means that tests for 0.0L, +/-Infinity and +/-NaN need only check
the high double.
