However, when this condition is true, a compiler might misplace code lines in a way that will break this support. (To be more specific - fmrx(FPSID) might be executed before vfp_testing_entry assignment, which will end up with Oops - undefined instruction). This patch adds a barrier() to guarantee the right execution ordering.
