Complement commit 0ae8dceaebe3 ("Merge with 2.3.10.") and use the local 
`fault' handler to recover from FP sigcontext access violation faults, 
like corresponding code does in r4k_fpu.S.  The `bad_stack' handler is 
in syscall.c and is not suitable here as we want to propagate the error 
condition up through the caller rather than killing the thread outright.

 I guess it hardly ever triggers and code still builds, so it has aged so
well...
