Log Message:
arcbios: enable FPU around ARCS calls

This seems required for the SGI O2 for PROM graphics console IO to work
when it scrolls.  See PR port-sgimips/60204 for more details.

The issue was introduced in v1.214 of sys/arch/mips/mips/locore.S .

Notably maya@ disabled the FPU early in boot, expecting the rest of
boot to run with the FPU disabled. The FPU is being explicitly
enabled/disabled here to keep to the spirit of maya@'s above commit.

A "better" solution would be to use the pcu API and mark the thread
as needing the FPU for the duration of the arcbios call, however:

 * The current MIPS pcu FPU code in sys/arch/mips/mips/mips_fpu.c
   doesn't support FPU use in kernel yet; and
 * this stuff is called super early during boot and once the OS starts
   the ARCBIOS API is no longer supposed to be used.
