Is those comments in our entry.S:
...
/* Floating point registers (FIXME: what do we do with these?)

%fr0 - %fr3 status/exception, not preserved
%fr4 - %fr7 arguments
%fr8 - %fr11 not preserved by C code
%fr12 - %fr21 preserved by C code
%fr22 - %fr31 not preserved by C code
*/
...

Are still uptodate?

Yes, these are from the HP-UX ABI.

what 'preserved by C code' would mean?

The register remains unchanged across a call. Call used registers don't have to be preserved.
