88987ef91b Thumb-2: Add some .align statements to the .S files
Since the Thumb-2 instructions can be 16-bit wide, data in the .text
sections may not be aligned to a 32-bit word and this leads to unaligned
exceptions. This patch does not affect the ARM code generation.

f2255be812 [ARM] 5440/1: Fix VFP state corruption due to preemption during VFP exceptions
We've observed that ARM VFP state can be corrupted during VFP exception
handling when PREEMPT is enabled.  The exact conditions are difficult
to reproduce but appear to occur during VFP exception handling when a
task causes a VFP exception which is handled via VFP_bounce and is then
preempted by yet another task which in turn causes yet another VFP
exception.  Since the VFP_bounce code is not preempt safe, VFP state then
becomes corrupt.  In order to prevent preemption from occuring while
handling a VFP exception, this patch disables preemption while handling
VFP exceptions.

93ed397011 [ARM] 5227/1: Add the ENDPROC declarations to the .S files
This declaration specifies the "function" type and size for various
assembly functions, mainly needed for generating the correct branch
instructions in Thumb-2.

5d4cae5fe2 [ARM] VFP: fix section mismatch error
Fix a real section mismatch issue; the test code is thrown away after
initialisation, but if we do not detect the VFP hardware, it is left
hooked into the exception handler.  Any VFP instructions which are
subsequently executed risk calling the discarded exception handler.

Introduce a new "null" handler which returns to the "unrecognised
fault" return address.

c642846489 [ARM] 4111/1: Allow VFP to work with thread migration on SMP
The current lazy saving of the VFP registers is no longer possible
with thread migration on SMP. This patch implements a per-CPU
vfp-state pointer and the saving of the VFP registers at every context
switch. The registers restoring is still performed in a lazy way.

9c42954dfd [ARM] Move enable_irq and disable_irq to assembler.h
5d25ac038a broke VFP builds due to
enable_irq not being defined as an assembly macro.  Move it to
assembler.h so everyone can use it.

5d25ac038a [ARM] Move IRQ enable after coprocessor number decode
Allow the individual coprocessor handlers to decide when to enable
interrupts, rather than unconditionally enabling them.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
