The patch looks fine technically and is definitely an improvement since the
intermediate conversion looks odd. But it might be that the standard
requires such dance though the preceeding cases handled don't seem to
care. I'm thinking of a FP format where round(1.6) == 3 because of lack
of precision but using an intermediate FP format with higher precision
would "correctly" compute 2.
Of course the current code doesn't handle this correctly for the
case if llroundf either.
