It's based partly on the OpenBSD version of the same code.  As a
general thought on the sparc64 fpu code, I don't see why there's a
need for the _QP_TTOQ macro at all, it only saves manually writing a
handful of functions.  It's true that you don't have to change each
function in the event of a change to the overall routine, but I don't
think that's much of an issue with this code.
