[PATCH v2] arm: Enable FPU for M-profile

[Christophe Lyon]

Before using the FPU, we must grant access to it.  This helps when
running the GCC testsuite on a simluator where FPU access is not
granted by default.

This patch grants full access, we may want to consider granting only
unpriviledged access later.

	* libgloss/arm/cpu-init/rdimon-aem.S: Enable full FPU access on
	M-profile.
