2014-11-24	MIPS: Kconfig option to better exercise/debug hybrid FPRs	Paul Burton
	The hybrid FPR scheme exists to allow for compatibility between existing FP32 code and newly compiled FP64A code. Such code should hopefully be rare in the real world, and for the moment is difficult to come across. All code except that built for the FP64 ABI can correctly execute using the hybrid FPR scheme, so debugging the hybrid FPR implementation can be eased by forcing all such code to use it. This is undesirable in general due to the trap & emulate overhead of the hybrid FPR implementation, but is a very useful option to have for debugging.

2014-11-24	MIPS: ELF: Set FP mode according to .MIPS.abiflags	Paul Burton
	This patch reads the .MIPS.abiflags section when it is present, and sets the FP mode of the task accordingly. Any loaded ELF files which do not contain a .MIPS.abiflags section will continue to observe the previous behaviour, that is FR=1 if EF_MIPS_FP64 is set else FR=0.
