I really don't want to hear this.  This is not a symmetric system.
It's pretty broken.

Given that modern userspace assumes that VFP will always be available
as hardware instructions, this is not going to be nice.  It's probably
easier to ignore that non-VFP CPU1 and just treat it as a uniprocessor
system.
