Hauke Mehrtens 5e3d188e89 kernel: add patch header and missing part in 132-mips_inline_dma_ops.patch again
The select SYS_HAS_DMA_OPS in CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON was from the kernel
patch in 3.13, but it is only included in kernel 3.14 and not in 3.13
and 3.18, add it again.

Thank you swalker for spotting this.

Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 2/2] MIPS: make FPU emulator optional
Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 12:57:04 +0200
Message-Id: <1396868224-252888-2-git-send-email-manuel.lauss@gmail.com>
This small patch makes the MIPS FPU emulator optional. The kernel
kills float-users on systems without a hardware FPU by sending a SIGILL.
Disabling the emulator shrinks vmlinux by about 54kBytes (32bit,
optimizing for size).

v4: rediffed because of patch 1/2, should now work with micromips as well
v3: updated patch description with size savings.
v2: incorporated changes suggested by Jonas Gorski
force the fpu emulator on for micromips: relocating the parts
of the mmips code in the emulator to other areas would be a
much larger change; I went the cheap route instead with this.

+ help
+ This option lets you disable the built-in MIPS FPU (Coprocessor 1)
+ emulator, which handles floating-point instructions on processors
+ without a hardware FPU. It is generally a good idea to keep the
+ emulator built-in, unless you are perfectly sure you have a
+ complete soft-float environment. With the emulator disabled, all
+ users of float operations will be killed with an illegal instr-
+ uction exception.
+
+ Say Y, please.
