The architecture specification calls for the EPCR to be set to "Address
of next not executed instruction" when there is a floating point
exception (FPE).  This was not being done, so fix it by using the same
method as syscall.  Note, this may need a lot more work if we start
seeing floating point operations in delay slots which exceptions
enabled.

Without this patch FPU exceptions will loop, as the exception hanlding
will always return back to the failed floating point instruction.

This was not noticed in earlier testing because:

 1. The compiler usually generates code which clobbers the input operand
    such as:

      lf.div.s r19,r17,r19

 2. The target will store the operation output before to the register
    before handling the exception.  So an operation such as:

      float a = 100.0f;
      float b = 0.0f;
      float c = a / b;    /* lf.div.s r19,r17,r19 */

    Will first execute:

      100 / 0    -> Store inf to c (r19)
                 -> triggering divide by zero exception
                 -> handle and return

    Then it will exectute:

      100 / inf  -> Store 0 to c  (no exception)

To confirm the looping behavoid and the fix I used the following:

    float fpu_div(float a, float b) {
	float c;
	asm volatile("lf.div.s %0, %1, %2"
		      : "+r" (c)
		      : "r" (a), "r" (b));
	return c;
    }

It should be "with exceptions enabled."

According to Table 6-3, when in a delay slot the EPCR should be the address of the jump, 
for both syscall and fpe.  This whole block should be moved down...

... into the else.

Thanks for looking at this.  This is correct.  I will fix it this way, though
this points to an issue in the architecture (in the manual as "Particular delay
slot issues").  If we have instructions causing exceptions in delay slots like
l.sys it will cause looping.
