Fast version of pow using Intel float instructions.

   double _f_pow (double x, double y);

Function calculates x to power of y.
The function optimizes the case where x is >0.0 and y is finite.
In such a case, there is no error checking or setting of errno.
All other cases defer to normal pow() function which will
set errno as normal.
