It is (mostly) being stored in per-CPU state.  But for efficiency, the per-CPU
state is in the softfloat format.

For this new bit, I'd prefer to not require a second load to examine the
exception flags for the insn.  And while I could privately define a symbol for
the unused bit in the existing softfloat status, that seemed more hazardous
than just defining the bit in the global softfloat enumeration.
