NaNs with the sign bit set will wind up in this case and return 0
rather than largest-unsigned-integer.

Also it seems like this code says "negative inputs return
zero if they're denormal or signal Invalid and return 0
if they're not". Are you sure this does the right thing for
(a) values which are not denormal but are close enough
to zero to round to it and (b) different rounding modes?
