3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel at arm.linux.org.uk>

commit 846a136881b8f73c1f74250bf6acfaa309cab1f2 upstream.

Michael Olbrich reported that his test program fails when built with
-O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon, and a kernel which supports v6 and v7
CPUs:

volatile int x = 2;
volatile int64_t y = 2;

int main() {
	volatile int a = 0;
	volatile int64_t b = 0;
	while (1) {
		a = (a + x) % (1 << 30);
		b = (b + y) % (1 << 30);
		assert(a == b);
	}
}

and two instances are run.  When built for just v7 CPUs, this program
works fine.  It uses the "vadd.i64 d19, d18, d16" VFP instruction.

It appears that we do not save the high-16 double VFP registers across
context switches when the kernel is built for v6 CPUs.  Fix that.
