Like nearbyint, rint can be implemented on PPC using the frin instruction. The
complication comes from the fact that rint needs to set the FE_INEXACT flag
when the result does not equal the input value (and frin does not do that). As
a result, we use a custom inserter which, after the rounding, compares the
rounded value with the original, and if they differ, explicitly sets the XX bit
in the FPSCR register (which corresponds to FE_INEXACT).
Once LLVM has better modeling of the floating-point environment we should be
able to (often) eliminate this extra complexity.

These instructions are available on the P5x (and later) and on the A2. They
implement the standard floating-point rounding operations (floor, trunc, etc.).
One caveat: frin (round to nearest) does not implement "ties to even", and so
is only enabled in fast-math mode.
