  Log:
  Use a temporary array instead of the arg array y[] for calling
  __kernel_rem_pio2().  This simplifies analysis of aliasing and thus
  results in better code for the usual case where __kernel_rem_pio2()
  is not called.  In particular, when __ieee854_rem_pio2[f]() is inlined,
  it normally results in y[] being returned in registers.  I couldn't
  get this to work using the restrict qualifier.
  
  In float precision, this saves 2-3% in most cases on amd64 and i386
  (A64) despite it not being inlined in float precision yet.  In double
  precision, this has high variance, with an average gain of 2% for
  amd64 and 0.7% for i386 (but a much larger gain for usual cases) and
  some losses.
