Small correction, feraiseexcept without the patch misbehaves with fesetround
(FE_UPWARD) only, but IMHO it should be fixed even for that case.
Another alternative is to subtract f1 from DBL_MAX rather than add it,
which has the advantage that only 2 double constants are in .sdata rather
than 3 as with previous patch.

	* sysdeps/ia64/fpu/fraiseexcpt.c (feraiseexcept): Don't raise overflow
	exception in addition to inexact when asked to raise only FE_INEXACT.
