[arm-gnu] 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,
