Sorry for letting this slide for a bit. While I'm not opposed to a solution
that requires a FPU Kconfig option, it'd be a bit better if we could detect
this at boot time. I think this should be possible because at one point this
actually worked and we could boot the same kernel on FPU and no-FPU systems.

If that's not possible then we'll have to take something like this. There were
some comments on this v2 but I don't see a v3, did I miss one?
