> instruction contains denormalized operands, the nds32 FPU will raise an
> denormalized input exception to inform kernel to deal with this

> correct denormalized number can be derived in kernel and return to the user

> Changes in v3:
>  - Kernel with FPU support enabled still can run on a CPU without FPU
>  - Rename CONFIG_UNLAZY_FPU to CONFIG_LAYZ_FPU
>  - Rename _switch() to _switch_fpu()
>  - Store FPU context when kernel suspends
>  - Modify the comments in code and patch

> Changes in v2:
>  - Remove the initilzation for floating pointer register before entering to
>    signal handler.
