I've been looking at JDK tests for the correct fma rounding.  I've run
these to check that AArch64 fma works correctly.  It turns out that if
you run tests with inlining enabled, C2 collapses most of the code to
nothing because of constant propagation.  If you run the tests with
inlining enabled, you test the arithmetic at runtime.  I've also added
a test which makes sure that rounding is only done once on the
low-order bits.

This would form the basis for a HotSpot test, I think.
