[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] xen/arm: don't enable VFP on XEN during the boot



We can safely remove VFP support in XEN because:
    - the guest will enable VFP support when a process requires it
    - XEN doesn't use VFP

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
    - Remove asm/vfp.h and all the inclusions of this header
