If trapping FPSIMD in the context of an AArch32 guest, it is critical
to set FPEXC32_EL2.EN to 1 so that the trapping is taken to EL2 and
not EL1.
Conversely, it is just as critical *not* to set FPEXC32_EL2.EN to 1
if we're not going to trap FPSIMD, as we then corrupt the existing
VFP state.
Moving the call to __activate_traps_fpsimd32 to the point where we
know for sure that we are going to trap ensures that we don't set that
bit spuriously.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
