[PATCH] ARM: 2837/2: Re: ARM: Make NWFPE preempt safe

Patch from Richard Purdie

NWFPE used global variables which meant it wasn't safe for use with
preemptive kernels. This patch removes them and communicates the
information between functions in a preempt safe manner. Generation
of some exceptions was broken and this has also been corrected.
Tests with glibc's maths test suite show no change in the results
before/after this patch.
