Gilles did write the fptest bits for x86, arm and arm64 a long time ago
when we were working on xenomai3, which I then picked for implementing
xenomai4/evl. However, the risc-v bits can hardly be seen as an
adaptation of any existing code, although the basic pattern has to be
the same, since this implements an internal API. I believe that you
should copyright it, I don't see this as a work derived from the other
fptest implementations.
