Vincent Chen 44e92e0364 nds32: support denormalized result through FP emulator
Currently, the nds32 FPU dose not support the arithmetic of denormalized
number. When the nds32 FPU finds the result of the instruction is a
denormlized number, the nds32 FPU considers it to be an underflow condition
and rounds the result to an appropriate number. It may causes some loss
of precision. This commit proposes a solution to re-execute the
instruction by the FPU emulator to enhance the precision. To transfer
calculations from user space to kernel space, this feature will enable
the underflow exception trap by default. Enabling this feature may cause
some side effects:
  1. Performance loss due to extra FPU exception
  2. Need another scheme to control real underflow trap
       A new parameter, UDF_trap, which is belong to FPU context is used
     to control underflow trap.

User can configure this feature via CONFIG_SUPPORT_DENORMAL_ARITHMETIC

Vincent Chen e46bf83c18 nds32: nds32 FPU port
This patch set contains basic components for supporting the nds32 FPU,
such as exception handlers and context switch for FPU registers. By
default, the lazy FPU scheme is supported and the user can configure it via
CONFIG_LZAY_FPU.

Greentime Hu b3b112bb06 nds32: Fix the allmodconfig build. To make sure CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN is default y
This way we can build kernel with CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y. Build allmodconfig
and allnoconfig are available too. It also fixes the endian mismatch issue
because AFLAGS and LDFLAGS is not passed correctly.
