I was just following what was done with RN:
#define FPSCR_RN1    1
#define FPSCR_RN0    0  /* Floating-point rounding control                   */
...
#define FP_RN1          (1ull << FPSCR_RN1)
#define FP_RN0          (1ull << FPSCR_RN0)
#define FP_RN           (FP_RN1 | FP_RN0)

Oh, you're right, of course.

I will do, and then send an updated version.
