Due to what looks like a typo dating back to the original addition
of FPEXC32_EL2 handling, KVM currently initialises this register to
an architecturally invalid value.
As a result, the VECITR field (RES1) in bits [10:8] is initialised
with 0, and the two reserved (RES0) bits [6:5] are initialised with
1. (In the Common VFP Subarchitecture as specified by ARMv7-A,
these two bits were IMP DEF. ARMv8-A removes them.)
This patch changes the reset value from 0x70 to 0x700, which
reflects the architectural constraints and is presumably what was
originally intended.

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.
