Ard's previous series (reworking the VFP/softirq and allowing VFP usage
from within softirq) broke things for RT or made me aware of another
problem. The vfp_bounce() problem was unkown.
This series of Ard is completely independent and makes it easier to fix
it since the code isn't part in .S and part .c so it made things easier.

Do you have a BTS number, I may try to ping folks.
