Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 2/2] MIPS: make FPU emulator optional
Date:   Mon,  7 Apr 2014 12:57:04 +0200
Message-Id: <1396868224-252888-2-git-send-email-manuel.lauss@gmail.com>

This small patch makes the MIPS FPU emulator optional. The kernel
kills float-users on systems without a hardware FPU by sending a SIGILL.

Disabling the emulator shrinks vmlinux by about 54kBytes (32bit,
optimizing for size).

v4: rediffed because of patch 1/2, should now work with micromips as well
v3: updated patch description with size savings.
v2: incorporated changes suggested by Jonas Gorski
    force the fpu emulator on for micromips: relocating the parts
    of the mmips code in the emulator to other areas would be a
    much larger change; I went the cheap route instead with this.
