* src/threaddispatch.c, src/threadhandler.c: Per PR211 fix
	saving/restoring floating point context.  The fpsave and fprestore
	routines are only used in a executing context which _is_ fp and hence
	has the FPU enabled. The current behavior required the FPU always to
	be on which is very dangerous if lazy context switching is used.
	[Joel Note: Some ports explicitly enabled the FPU in the FP save and
	restore routines to avoid this.]

	The patch also makes sure (on powerpc only) that the FPU is disabled
	for integer tasks. Note that this is crucial if deferred fp context
	switching is used. Otherwise, fp context corruption may go undetected!
	Also note that even tasks which merely push/pop FP registers to/from
	the stack without modifying them still MUST be FP tasks - otherwise
	(if lazy FP context switching is used), FP register corruption (of
	other, FP, tasks may occur)!

	Furthermore, (on PPC) by default, lazy FP context save/restore
	is _disabled_.

    of RTEMS.  [RTEMS assumes the use of GNU make.]

  README
    This file.

  REQUIRES
    A list of the other tools which are assumed to be installed
    before RTEMS is built.

  SUPPORT
    Information on third-party support for RTEMS.

  build-tools
    This directory contains the source for various utilities
    needed to build RTEMS.

  make
    Make command files "included" from those in the source distribution.
    [RTEMS assumes the use of GNU make.]

  patches
    This directory contains patches for this release of RTEMS.

  src

    implementation of RTEMS as well as the test suites, sample
    applications, Board Support Packages, Device Drivers, and
    support libraries.
