[arm-gnu] Urgent: Enable Advanced SIMD instruction support

Hi,

I am trying to enable Advanced SIMD and VFP in the linux kernel by setting
the FPEXC.EN bit.

To set that bit I am using the VMSR instruction. But the assembler gives
"bad instruction: vmsr fpexc, r1" error.

Are the vmsr / vmrs instructions supported by the toolchain?

Is there any other way to enable Advanced SIMD and VFP support in the linux
kernel?

Thanks,

--Akshay
