Hi Jiaxun,

Nice catch! Only one minor nit. Otherwise:

Here and the title, "IEEE Std 754" can be just "IEEE 754". I don't
remember seeing the "IEEE Std 754" phrase anywhere.

I suggest the following help message:

"Sets the default IEEE 754 conformance mode, same as overriding the
default value for the ieee754= kernel parameter. See the kernel
parameter for details."
