Looks like the whole file should go away.

Note that this change would affect the following code
at the end of vfp_raise_exceptions:

	if (si_code)
		vfp_raise_sigfpe(si_code, regs);

To be on the safe side, I'd just change it this way:

diff --git a/arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.c b/arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.c
index 4c375e1..66a73ba 100644

 		return;
 	}
