:    * Kernel bcopy operation in case where no process switch occurs
:      (i.e. current process was using the FP and while we went into
:      kernel mode, we have not yet saved the FP state anywhere).
:
:	if (process-A-using-FP) {
:	    push FP state for process A on stack
:	    push process-A-using-FP flag
:	}
:	set process-A-using-FP flag
:	use FP registers to do bcopy
:
:	restore process-A-using-FP flag from stack
:	restore FP state from stack

    Oops.  I meant:

	if (process-A-using-FP) {
	    push FP state for process A on stack
	}
	push process-A-using-FP flag

	set process-A-using-FP flag
	use FP registers to do bcopy

	restore process-A-using-FP flag from stack
	if (process-A-using-FP) {
	    restore FP state from stack
	}
