4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+ker...@armlinux.org.uk>

commit 3aaf33bebda8d4ffcc0fc8ef39e6c1ac68823b11 upstream.

When qemu starts a kernel in a bare environment, the default SCR has
the AW and FW bits clear, which means that the kernel can't modify
the PSR A or PSR F bits, and means that FIQs and imprecise aborts are
always masked.

When running uboot under qemu, the AW and FW SCR bits are set, and the
kernel functions normally - and this is how real hardware behaves.

Fix this for qemu by ignoring the FIQ bit.
