 /*
  * In the Linux kernel, we support selection of FPR format on the
- * basis of the Status.FR bit.  This does imply that, if a full 32
- * FPRs are desired, there needs to be a flip-flop that can be written
- * to one at that bit position.  In any case, O32 MIPS ABI uses
- * only the even FPRs (Status.FR = 0).
+ * basis of the Status.FR bit.  If an FPU is not present, the FR bit
+ * is hardwired to zero, which would imply a 32-bit FPU even for
+ * 64-bit CPUs.  For 64-bit kernels with no FPU we use TIF_32BIT_REGS
+ * as a proxy for the FR bit so that a 64-bit FPU is emulated.  In any
+ * case, for a 32-bit kernel which uses the O32 MIPS ABI, only the
+ * even FPRs are used (Status.FR = 0).
