This small patch makes the MIPS FPU emulator optional. The kernel
kills float-users on systems without a hardware FPU by sending a SIGILL.
Disabling the emulator shrinks vmlinux by about 54kBytes (32bit,
optimizing for size).

v4: rediffed because of patch 1/2, should now work with micromips as well
v3: updated patch description with size savings.
v2: incorporated changes suggested by Jonas Gorski
force the fpu emulator on for micromips: relocating the parts
of the mmips code in the emulator to other areas would be a
much larger change; I went the cheap route instead with this.

+ help
+ This option lets you disable the built-in MIPS FPU (Coprocessor 1)
+ emulator, which handles floating-point instructions on processors
+ without a hardware FPU. It is generally a good idea to keep the
+ emulator built-in, unless you are perfectly sure you have a
+ complete soft-float environment. With the emulator disabled, all
+ users of float operations will be killed with an illegal instr-
+ uction exception.
