That's the end goal, but it is setting the fp enable bit? Your later comment of
combining functions and remove assembler should work.

I would think so, but besides B.2.7.3  I can't find other references on
visibility of context altering instructions.

Didn't know about fmrx/fmxr functions - much better.

Yeah, I twisted the meaning of bool.

Related to earlier comment I would be in favor of combining and use
'vcpu_trap_vfp_enable()'.

The macro handled some corner cases, but it's getting messy. I'll remove it.
