On 7 Feb 2001, Florian Lohoff reported exit_thread() problem on
NON-FPU CPUs. Tt is still not solved in the current kernel.

Following codes in exit_thread() and flush_thread() should be executed
only if (mips_cpu.options & MIPS_CPU_FPU) == 0, shouldn't it?
set_cp0_status(ST0_CU1);
__asm__ __volatile__("cfc1\t$0,$31");
BTW, I can not see any point in copying FCR31 to r0. What is a
purpose of the cfc1 instruction?
