There is no point in copying floating point regs when there
is no FPU and MATH_EMULATION is not selected.
Create a new CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS bool that is selected by
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION and CONFIG_PPC_FPU, and use it to
opt out everything related to fp_state in thread_struct.
The asm const used only by fpu.S are opted out with CONFIG_PPC_FPU
as fpu.S build is conditionnal to CONFIG_PPC_FPU.
The following app spends approx 8.1 seconds system time on an 8xx
without the patch, and 7.0 seconds with the patch (13.5% reduction).
On an 832x, it spends approx 2.6 seconds system time without
the patch and 2.1 seconds with the patch (19% reduction).

exit(0);

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.
