[PATCH v2 3/3] arm: vfp: Bounce undefined instructions in vectored mode

[Stephen Boyd]

From: Stepan Moskovchenko <stepanm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Certain ARM CPU implementations (e.g. Cortex-A15) may not raise a
floating- point exception whenever deprecated short-vector VFP
instructions are executed. Instead these instructions are treated
as UNALLOCATED. Change the VFP exception handling code to emulate
short-vector instructions even if FPEXC exception bits are not
set.
