Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 0/5] nds32 FPU port

> This patch set contains basic components for supporting the nds32 FPU,

> default, the lazy FPU scheme is supported and the user can configure it

> As mentioned above, the nds32 FPU does not support denormalized number
> This means the denormalized operands and results are not permitted. If an
> instruction contains denormalized operands, the nds32 FPU will raise an
> denormalized input exception to inform kernel to deal with this
> instruction. If the result of the instruction is a denormalized number,
> normally nds32 FPU will treat it as an underflow case and round the result
> to an appropriate value based on current rounding mode. Obviously, there is
> a precision gap for tininess number. To reduce this precision gap, kernel
> will enable the underflow trap by default to direct all underflow cases to
> the floating pointer emulator. By the floating pointer emulator, the
> correct denormalized number can be derived in kernel and return to the user
> program. The feature can be configured by
> CONFIG_SUPPORT_DENORMAL_ARITHMETIC, and if the precision requirement is not
> critical for tininess number, user may disables this feature to keep

> Changes in v3:
> - Kernel with FPU support enabled still can run on a CPU without FPU
> - Rename CONFIG_UNLAZY_FPU to CONFIG_LAYZ_FPU
> - Rename _switch() to _switch_fpu()

> Changes in v2:
> - Remove the initilzation for floating pointer register before entering to
