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.
