Since we pass flags to the compiler to control code generation based
on the least capable selected CPU, if we want to include VFP support,
we must tweak the assembler flags to allow the VFP instructions.
Moreover, we must not use the mrrc/mcrr versions since these will not
be recognised by the assembler.
We do not convert all instructions to the VFP-equivalent (yet) since
binutils appears to barf on "fmrx rn, fpinst" and doesn't provide any
other way (other than using the mrc equivalent) to encode this
instruction - which is rather a problem when you have a VFP
implementation which requires these instructions.

Patch from Catalin Marinas
This patch changes the double registers numbering to 0-15 from even 0-30,
in preparation for future VFP extensions. It also fixes the VFP_REG_ZERO
bug (value 16 actually represents the 8th double register with the original
numbering).
The original mcrr/mrrc on CP10 were generating FMRRS/FMSRR instead of
FMRRD/FMDRR. The patch changes to CP11 for the correct instructions.

Patch from Catalin Marinas
The current VFP code corrupts the VFP registers (including the control
ones) if more than one floating point application is executed at the same
time. This patch fixes the updating of the load/store base addresses for
the VFP registers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
