Context switching for VFP registers on Cortex-A8 board.

[Sebastian Huber]

Hello,

you use a BSP that is not included in the main RTEMS sources, so I can 
only guess.

There are many exceptions and some provide extra information, so 
"exception is occurred" is a very vague description.

memory access is possible.  See SCTLR.A bit (ARM_CP15_CTRL_A).
