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.)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
