Hi Julien,

Yes, you are right.

How about asking Justin to place a couple of TODOs about these issues and 
fixing them in January?  I'm just concerned about delaying this longer, as not 
having floating point on ARM is currently blocking several things (i.e., 
porting of C++ to ARM64, porting of our machine learning acceleration framework 
to ARM64, porting of the ARM compute library to ARM64, porting of the LGVL 
library to ARM64, finalizing a WAMR on Raspberry Pi 3 demo, etc.).

I am not sure what TODOs you suggest... While my comment regarding keeping the FPSIMD trap disabled as much as possible is not that important (it just helps for debug), the rest of the series have a major flaw that would corrupt your kernel/app at any time.

I would strongly suggest to focus on making the foundation solid but trying to pile up more stuff on top.

Cheers,
