Description
We did this for x86 in https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1454 and https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1471 (thanks @eduardosm for catching that!), and for RISC-V in https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1478. Chances are other architectures will have similar functions; they should all be treated the same way.
Contributor guide

Research direction
Read the x86 PRs 1454 and 1471 and the RISC-V PR 1478 first to understand the existing treatment. Search the repository for floating-point status register functions on other architectures, then apply the same deprecation approach everywhere such functions remain and verify the architecture-specific changes.
