The name is now right, but the usage is not. You do not want to unconditionally force a denormal flush, pretty much anywhere. 

I also believe most of the explicit flushes / canonicalizes in the math function implementations can be deleted with some shuffling around. I removed most of these in the rocm-device-libs implementations a few years ago. A few more remain but I believe they can also be avoided
