/*
* In-kernel FPU support functions
*
+ *
+ * Consider these guidelines before using in-kernel FPU functions:
+ *
+ * 1. Use kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() to enclose all in-kernel
+ * use of floating-point or vector registers and instructions.
+ *
+ * 2. For kernel_fpu_begin(), specify the vector register range you want to
+ * use with the KERNEL_VXR_* constants. Consider these usage guidelines:
+ *
+ * a) If your function typically runs in process-context, use the lower
+ * half of the vector registers, for example, specify KERNEL_VXR_LOW.
+ * b) If your function typically runs in soft-irq or hard-irq context,
+ * prefer using the upper half of the vector registers, for example,
+ * specify KERNEL_VXR_HIGH.
+ *
+ * If you adhere to these guidelines, an interrupted process context
+ * does not require to save and restore vector registers because of
+ * disjoint register ranges.
+ *
+ * Also note that the __kernel_fpu_begin()/__kernel_fpu_end() functions
+ * includes logic to save and restore up to 16 vector registers at once.
+ *
+ * 3. You can nest kernel_fpu_begin()/kernel_fpu_end() by using different
+ * struct kernel_fpu states. Vector registers that are in use by outer
+ * levels are saved and restored. You can minimize the save and restore
+ * effort by choosing disjoint vector register ranges.
+ *
+ * 5. To use vector floating-point instructions, specify the KERNEL_FPC
+ * flag to save and restore floating-point controls in addition to any
+ * vector register range.
+ *
+ * 6. To use floating-point registers and instructions only, specify the
+ * KERNEL_FPR flag. This flag triggers a save and restore of vector
+ * registers V0 to V15 and floating-point controls.
+ *
