The kernel parts have now been accepted (and will be available
with 3.0), so I've committed the binutils and gbd parts as well.

Note that I had originally forgotten to update readelf to properly
display the new note type; the version I've committed includes
this part as well (see additional patch below).

Thanks,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

binutils/
	* readelf.c (get_note_type): Handle NT_ARM_VFP.
