I got some feedback from the STM32 kernel maintainer, and he doesn't
intend to work on FPU support anytime soon. So I've dropped the patch
for now.

I don't like to let things linger in patchwork. We already have enough
stuff there. If one day we want to re-add EABIhf support for Cortex-M,
my patch will be in the archives (and the patch is anyway simple enough
that anyone can re-create without much effort).
