thread: set mxcsr bit 6 DAZ to zero to disable denormals-are-zeros
Currently we are using mxcsr register with the bit 6 DAZ enabled.
When the denormals-are-zeros flag is set, the processor
converts all denormal source operands to a zero with the sign
of the original operand before performing any computations on them.
It causes bugs in the SIMD XMM registers computation like #38646
I suggest to disable Denormals-Are-Zeros flag and mask division-by-zero
exception.
Set value to the default 1F80H according to the Intel(R) 64 and IA-32
Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
Fix will let all x86 boards perform SIMD computation using XMM
registers in the correct way.
Fixes #38646
