[ARM] Add thread_notify infrastructure Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable. Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem (eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

#define THREAD_NOTIFY_FLUSH 0
ARM: Convert VFP/Crunch/XscaleCP thread_release() to exit_thread() This avoids races in the VFP code where the dead thread may have state on another CPU. By moving this code to exit_thread(), we will be running as the thread, and therefore be running on the current CPU. This means that we can ensure that the only local state is accessed in the thread notifiers.

ARM: 6867/1: Introduce THREAD_NOTIFY_COPY for copy_thread() hooks This patch adds THREAD_NOTIFY_COPY for calling registered handlers during the copy_thread() function call. It also changes the VFP handler to use a switch statement rather than if..else and ignore this event.
