- * at all times for the prefetch exception handler to catch FPA11 opcodes
- * and emulate them. The best indication to discriminate those two cases
- * is the SOFT_FLOAT flag in the ELF header.
+ * Since the FPA coprocessor uses CP1 and CP2, and iWMMXt uses CP0
+ * and CP1, we only enable access to the iWMMXt coprocessor if the
+ * binary is EABI or softfloat (and thus, guaranteed not to use
+ * FPA instructions.)
