--- Comment #2 from Andrew Stubbs <ams at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
When we first coded this we only had the GCN3 ISA manual, which says nothing
about the accuracy.

Now I look in the Vega manual (GCN5) I see:

  Square root with perhaps not the accuracy you were hoping for --
  (2**29)ULP accuracy. On the upside, denormals are supported.

The most recent CDNA2 manual is a bit less verbose:

  Square root. Precision is (2**29) ULP, and supports denormals.

The compiler already emits Newton Raphson iterations for division with
-ffast-math, so I'm sure it can be done, but I'm not too clear on the
mathematics myself.
