As another datapoint in the issue, I had a look into the scheme
SunOS-5.7 uses:

mcontext_t includes:
- a description of the CPU registers
- a description of the FPU registers
- no other extensions, no mechanism to turn the FPU status visibilty
  off.

The FPU description is a union of two plain byte arrays, one for
hardware FPU, one for the emulator, plus space for the Weitek chips.
