Instead of open-coding vlm and vstm inline assemblies at several locations, provide an fpu_* function for each instruction, and use them in the new save_vx_regs() and load_vx_regs() helper functions. Note that "O" and "R" inline assembly operand modifiers are used in order to pass the displacement and base register of the memory operands to the existing VLM and VSTM macros. The two operand modifiers are not available for clang. Therefore provide two variants of each inline assembly. The clang variant always uses and clobbers general purpose register 1, like in the previous inline assemblies, so it can be used as base register with a zero displacement. This generates slightly less efficient code, but can be removed as soon as clang has support for the used operand modifiers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
