This is adding ulps for non-to-nearest tests on some architectures that 
only support round-to-nearest and so have no such ulps in their existing 
files.

(I am generically dubious of such an update not based on actually running 
tests on the architectures involved - there can be architecture variations 
because of differences in e.g. whether multiply and add get fused - but 
adding ulps for tests that would not run on those architectures is 
definitely wrong.)
