ARM: Permit any ARMv6K CPU to read the MVFR0 and MVFR1 VFP registers.
This patch replaces the ARM_FEATURE_VFP3 test when reading MVFR registers
with a test for a new feature flag ARM_FEATURE_MVFR, and sets this feature
for all ARMv6K cores (ARM1156 is not a v6K core, yet supports MVFR; qemu
does not support ARM1156 at this time.)
MVFR0 and MVFR1 were introduced in ARM1136JF-S r1p0 (ARMv6K, VFPv2) and are
present in ARM1156T2F-S (non-v6K), ARM1176JZF-S, ARM11MPCore and newer cores.
Reference: ARM DDI 0211H, 0290G, 0301H, 0360E.

Without this change, the linux kernel will not boot with VFP support enabled
under ARM1176 system emulation, due to the unconditional use of MVFR1 at the
end of vfp_init() in arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.c:
VFP support v0.3: implemetor 41 architecture 1 part 20 variant b rev 5
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1]
