Yes, the _quiet version is what's needed for all comparisons.

For the record, the goal for QEMU should not be to emulate the
hardware exactly, but to emulate the entire HW+OS system.  Thus
when looking at Table B-2 one should look at the OS Completion
Handler and User Signal Handler columns.

That's for /s qualified instructions anyway.  For non-ieee code
we take care to inject the extra traps via helper_ieee_input*.

(It looks like some of the Alpha code can be cleaned up a bit.
I don't recall flush_inputs_to_zero option being there before,
and we do that by hand in helper_ieee_input*.)
