[ARM] fix VFP+softfloat binaries
2.6.28-rc tightened up the ELF architecture checks on ARM. For non-EABI it only allows VFP if the hardware supports it. However, the kernel fails to also inspect the soft-float flag, so it incorrectly rejects binaries using soft-VFP. The fix is simple: also check that EF_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT isn't set before rejecting VFP binaries on non-VFP hardware.
