Here's this one updated. Using your better MVFR check also removes the
dependency to the previous patch.

Subject: [PATCH] arm: Make VFPv3 usable on ARMv6

MVFR0 and MVFR1 are only available starting with ARM1136 r1p0 release
according to "B.5 VFP changes" in DDI0211F_arm1136_r1p0_trm.pdf. This is
also when TLS register got added, so we can use HAS_TLS also to test for
MVFR0 and MVFR1.

Otherwise VFPFMRX and VFPFMXR access fails and we get:

Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1]
PC is at no_old_VFP_process+0x8/0x3c
LR is at __und_svc+0x48/0x80
...
