The final store could hold a result which raised no FP exception, but intermediate results could have done so. But LLVM doesn't support fenv properly yet, so that's not an issue (I think!).
fenv support requires using the new constrained operation intrinsics, but the support there is incomplete (and still some confusion on how they should interact with the regular IR operations, which is used in the cmpxchg loop expansion)
