[PATCH v2 02/14] ARM: Implement ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT

Wed Dec 27 17:41:52 PST 2023


ARM provides an equivalent to the common kernel-mode FPU API, but in a
different header and using different function names. Add a wrapper
header, and export CFLAGS adjustments as found in lib/raid6/Makefile.
