I think it should be possible to implement them, perhaps not even hard
to do it in an architecture independent way. I tried this at some point
and couldn't figure it out, but I suppose it would fix the problem nicely.

This would assume that the two functions can only ever be called
from a context that already has access to the fpu, which I think is
the case here.
