12.3.3 Floating-Point Exception Register, FPEXC
The FPEXC Register is a read/write register accessible in Privileged modes only.
The EN bit, FPEXC[30], is the VFP enable bit. Clearing EN disables VFP functionality, causing
all VFP instructions apart from privileged system register accesses to generate an UNDEFINED
exception. The EN bit is cleared on reset.
Figure 12-4 shows the bit arrangement of the FPEXC Register.
