Sure, I was a little puzzled that "vcontrol fp" (without argument) doesn't already report 0 or 1

This said, it looks like disabling the FPU now is "reset proof", at least c:reboot doesn't reset the cpu back to default (can't recall if I tried with ctrl-a-a).

EDIT: yes, FPU state also survives ctrl-a-a now, good... I now see a chance to have the FPU permanently off by default

EDIT2: Second thought, why not have VControl check the state of the FPU already, so that "VControl FP 0" does nothing if it is already off?
