I read the differential review.  The code was not reviewed by John.
He reviewed how it was hooked into the build.  Bruce does not appear
in the differential review.   There is no record on freebsd-numerics
about the patch.

powl on i686-class hardware is likely broken as it does not use
the LD80C macro to construct literal constants.
