In fact, DNOD is simply not implemented on those guys - if you try to set it,
the bit still reads zero. Worse, according to Compiler Writer's Guide for the
21264/21364, "Alpha architecture FPCR bit 47 (DNOD) is not implemented
by the 21264 or 21364".
In other words, it looks like FPCR.DNOD is something from (never-produced)
21464.
