Do not trap access to floating point registers
Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits
in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point
registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing
unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore
code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current
code.
Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to
prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers.

+ * to EL3 when executed from EL0, EL1, EL2, or EL3. If system register
+ * access to trace functionality is not supported, this bit is RES0.
+ * CPTR_EL3.TFP: This causes instructions that access the registers
+ * associated with Floating Point and Advanced SIMD execution to trap
+ * to EL3 when executed from any exception level, unless trapped to EL1
