There's nothing to restore here if there's no FPU in the first place.

While I've committed the change to the unstable branch, making use of
this R-a-b now without asking would seem abusive to me. I'd expect
you don't want the 4.13 branch disturbed more than really helpful,
and hence I expect you'd rather not see this go in there now. Please
let me know if you view this differently.
Jan

I appreciate that a lot. Please don't commit this to 4.13 now. :-)
