    arch: add ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT · 6cbd1d6d
    Samuel Holland authored
    Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run
    floating-point SIMD code in kernel space.  However, the function names,
    header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and
    FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options.
    
    provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space
    FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must
    implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and
    kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and
    provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.
