Ah, I think I managed to confuse you in my previous comment.
On ARMv7, we call the floating point stuff VFP.
On ARMv8, we call it FP/SIMD.
Not very consistent, I know...

It would be interesting to find out if we can make this load_vcpu part
of the common sequence (without spilling another register, of course).
Probably involves moving the exception class to r2.
Thanks,
