Note that I'm performing tests in QEMU.  vsqrt.f64 instruction returns
NAN for NAN input and doesn't raise any exceptions ($fpscr register is
unchanged).  However I get INVALID exception after printing result with
musl implementation of printf(), glibc doesn't raise any exceptions in
printf(), but I'm not sure whether it's important, probably not.
