Well, that is why we check the hwcaps from misa just above and skip
this fp reg clearing if it doesn't contain the 'F' or 'D' extension.

The caller disables the FPU a few instructions later:

	/*
         * Disable FPU to detect illegal usage of
	 * floating point in kernel space
	 */
	li t0, SR_FS
	csrc CSR_XSTATUS, t0
