ARM: move VFP init to an earlier boot stage

In order to use the NEON unit in the kernel, we should
initialize it a bit earlier in the boot process so NEON users
that like to do a quick benchmark at load time (like the
xor_blocks or RAID-6 code) find the NEON/VFP unit already
enabled.

Replaced late_initcall() with core_initcall().

ARM: be strict about FP exceptions in kernel mode

The support code in vfp_support_entry does not care whether the
exception that caused it to be invoked occurred in kernel mode or
in user mode. However, neither condition that could trigger this
exception (lazy restore and VFP bounce to support code) is
currently allowable in kernel mode.

In either case, print a message describing the condition before
letting the undefined instruction handler run its course and trigger
an oops.

ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON

In order to safely support the use of NEON instructions in
kernel mode, some precautions need to be taken:
- the userland context that may be present in the registers (even
  if the NEON/VFP is currently disabled) must be stored under the
  correct task (which may not be 'current' in the UP case),
- to avoid having to keep track of additional vfpstates for the
  kernel side, disallow the use of NEON in interrupt context
  and run with preemption disabled,
- after use, re-enable preemption and re-enable the lazy restore
  machinery by disabling the NEON/VFP unit.

This patch adds the functions kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() which take care of the above. It also adds
the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON to enable it.

ARM: crypto: add NEON accelerated XOR implementation

Add a source file xor-neon.c (which is really just the reference
C implementation passed through the GCC vectorizer) and hook it
up to the XOR framework.

ARM: 7835/2: fix modular build of xor_blocks() with NEON enabled

Commit 0195659 introduced a NEON accelerated version of the xor_blocks()
function, but it needs the changes in this patch to allow it to be built
as a module rather than statically into the kernel.

This patch creates a separate module xor-neon.ko which exports the NEON
inner xor_blocks() functions depended upon by the regular xor.ko if it
is built with CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON=y

ARM: only allow kernel mode neon with AEABI

This prevents the linker erroring with:

arm-linux-ld: error: arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.o uses VFP instructions, whereas arch/arm/lib/built-in.o does not
arm-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.o

This is due to the non-neon files being marked as containing FPA data/
instructions (even though they do not) being mixed with files which
contain VFP, which is an incompatible floating point format.
