Logic control word ← source

FLDCW replaces the current value of the FPU control word register
with the value contained in the specified memory word; it is used to
change the FPU's mode of operation, e.g. rounding control.

Note
If an exception bit in the status word is set, loading a new control
word will produce a floating-point error condition. To avoid this
problem, any pending exceptions should be cleared (for example, by
using FCLEX) before loading the new control word.
