Implement the correct ordering of individual floating-point registers
within double-precision register pairs for the MIPS I FP context, as
required by our FP emulation code and expected by userland talking via
ptrace(2). Use L.D and S.D assembly macros that do the right thing like
LDC1 and SDC1 from MIPS II up, avoiding the need to mess up with
endianness conditionals.
This in particular fixes the handling of denormals and NaN generation in
Unimplemented Operation emulation traps.

This reverts commit 02987633df.
The basic premise of the patch was incorrect since MSA context
(including FP state) is saved using st.d which stores two consecutive
64-bit words in memory rather than a single 128-bit word. This means
that even with big endian MSA, the FP state is still in the first 64-bit
word.

Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:
{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
LD arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float
To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS; but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

When saving or restoring scalar FP context we want to access the least
significant 64 bits of each FP register. When the FP registers are 64
bits wide that is trivially the start of the registers value in memory.
However when the FP registers are wider this equivalence will no longer
be true for big endian systems. Define a new set of offset macros for
the least significant 64 bits of each saved FP register within thread
context, and make use of them when saving and restoring scalar FP
context.

CPUs implementing MIPS32 R2 may include a 64-bit FPU, just as MIPS64 CPUs
do. In order to preserve backwards compatibility a 64-bit FPU will act
like a 32-bit FPU (by accessing doubles from the least significant 32
bits of an even-odd pair of FP registers) when the Status.FR bit is
zero, again just like a mips64 CPU. The standard O32 ABI is defined
expecting a 32-bit FPU, however recent toolchains support use of a
64-bit FPU from an O32 MIPS32 executable. When an ELF executable is
built to use a 64-bit FPU a new flag (EF_MIPS_FP64) is set in the ELF
header.
With this patch the kernel will check the EF_MIPS_FP64 flag when
executing an O32 binary, and set Status.FR accordingly. The addition
of O32 64-bit FP support lessens the opportunity for optimisation in
the FPU emulator, so a CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option is
introduced to allow this support to be disabled for those that don't
require it.
Inspired by an earlier patch by Leonid Yegoshin, but implemented more
cleanly & correctly.
