ARM: vfp: ensure that thread flushing works if preempted
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Prevent a preemption event causing the initialized VFP state being
overwritten by ensuring that the VFP hardware access is disabled
prior to starting initialization.  We can then do this in safety
while still allowing preemption to occur.
