    Description

      Enact the same IEEE 754 terminology changes as JDK-7074799 for the JVMS, namely:

      * IEEE 754 Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic -> IEEE 754 Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic
      * single -> binary32 ("single" in the context of IEEE 754-1985 single format specifically)
      * double -> binary64 ("double" in the context of IEEE 754-1985 double format specifically)
      * denormalized -> subnormal
      * round to nearest mode -> roundTiesToEven mode
      * round towards zero mode -> roundTowardZero mode
