MIPS with Floating Point: Where is fp status register saved/restored?

Hello fellow RTEMS develelopers,

Maybe someone can help me out? I can't find where the MIPS floating point
coprocessor status register is saved and restored through a context switch
in RTEMS. This is register fcr31. Is it not necessary to explicitly save and
restore it, or did I miss the code, or did it get left out? As a sanity
check, I looked at the Linux kernel code for the MIPS processor and found
where it is saved and restored there.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Bruce
