    OpenVMS usage:mask_quadword
    type:         quadword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference
    Address of a quadword bit mask to be cleared in the IEEE
    floating-point control register.

    The $IEEEDEF macro defines symbols for the floating-point
    control register. The following table shows the symbols, their
    corresponding masks, and their meaning:
