Yes, this is a great patch.
Maybe we also need to implement ldfp8 :-)

One concern is we can not use getfpreg directly.
Because f32~f127 are not saved into current->arch._thread.fph,
and f2~f5 and f12~f31 are not saved into pt_regs or switch_stack.
Only f6~f11 are guaranteed to be saved into pt_regs.
f2~f5 and f12~f31 are saved into switch_stack only when domain switch happens.
Structure pt_regs and switch_stack are different with those in linux kernel.
Maybe we need to implement getfpreg and setfpreg ourselves.


Thanks,
Anthony
