I don't think it's supported at the moment, I don't remember anyone
adding code to save the VFP regs on a context switch which is probably
the main bit of kernel work needed.

gcc appears to have vfp support as a vfp file does exist:
src/gnu/dist/gcc4/gcc/config/arm/vfp.md
possibly enabled by using:
-mfpu=vfp

Also I note that sys/arch/arm/include/float.h has some #ifndef __VFP_FP__

Is it a full vfp implementation, or is it like the original floating
point where the some instructions are in hardware, and some are emulated?

So I guess it's been thought about, but as your possibly the first
person with a VFP capable chip you get the fun of making it work :)

Thanks,
