[PATCH v3 0/2] Remaining VFP fixes

Hello,

This is v3 of the patches originally posted here:

v1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-January/082168.html
v2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-January/082383.html

Patches 1-3 from v2 of the series are now in the patch system, so this
posting is a rework of what was previously patch 4/4.

The main change is that the VFP save/restore code is now moved out of
signal.c and into vfpmodule.c, since that is where the low-level
knowledge belongs.

I tested the changes with the `risu' tool for 24 hours on my (A9)
vexpress without any issues.

Cheers,

Will
