"Setting flush to zero for ..." - what is the warning?

[Jun Sun <jsun@mvista.com>]

I ran some stress tests and start to get this warning.  It appears to be
generated in do_fpe() routine.  See below.  I wonder why this is
happening.  Can someone explain what is going on?  Thanks.

void do_fpe(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long fcr31)
{
        ....
        if (fcr31 & 0x20000) {
                /* Retry instruction with flush to zero ...  */
                if (!(fcr31 & (1<<24))) {
                        printk("Setting flush to zero for %s.\n",
                               current->comm);
                        fcr31 &= ~0x20000;
                        fcr31 |= (1<<24);

                                : /* No outputs */
                                : "r" (fcr31));
                        return;
                }
