Log:
Use fabs[f]() instead of bit fiddling for setting absolute values.
This makes little difference in float precision, but in double
precision gives a speedup of about 30% on amd64 (A64 CPU) and i386
(A64). This depends on fabs[f]() being inline and efficient. The
bit fiddling (or any use of SET_HIGH_WORD(), which libm does too
much because it was best on old 32-bit machines) always causes
packing overheads and sometimes causes stalls in the packing, since
it operates on only part of a variable in the double precision case.
It apparently did cause stalls in a critical path here.
