There are really two kinds of bounds exceptions. There is an "old"
'BOUND' instruction that will generate #BR's as well as the new MPX
instructions. The new ones require xstate and poking the FPU, etc...
The old one did not.
So, we _can_ as far as I know get in to do_bounds() without using the FPU.
