MIPS no FP patch

MIPS no FP patch

Hi

This is a patch that makes FP emulation in kernel an option.
I used this when I was looking why there are still some
FP instruction in glibc, even though it was configured with
--withot-fp. This seemed the best way to ensure this.

It is for the 2.6.14-rc2, but I think there is only a minimal
work to use it on latest kernel.

BR,
Matej

Patch introduces a option, with which you can enable
or disable the FP emulator in the kernel.
It was written to ensure that no user space binaries uses
FP instruction. This was necessary because glibc
still contained some FP instructions even though it
was configured with --without-fp and gcc with --with-float=soft.
See <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2005-09/msg00054.html>
for details and <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2005-09/msg00125.html>
for patch.

We used to have this option but I eventually got rid of it because people
just don't grok that they must enable it in precense of an FPU.

For cores that have FPUs you could have Kconfig "select" it
automatically.
