Change status and control to mxcsr here, and remove the status and control
variables.

Merge the independent statuses modified by their independent controls:

   	return (fpetable[(fpsw & ((~fpcw & 0x3f) | 0x40)) |
 	    ((mxcsr & (mxcsr >> 16)) & 0x3f)]);

Use the same trap handler that reads all these statuses and controls.
