Ilija, by inspection, we know that the mcount functions do not use any FP
registers. These functions call __profile_mcount() which is self-contained and
does not perform any floating point calculations. So there is no possibility
that function arguments passed in FP registers will be modified within the call
to mcount() or __gnu_mcount_nc() and therefore no need for the mcount functions
to save/restore FP registers.
