Title: test_fp_sharing
Description:
This test uses two tasks to independently compute pi, while two other tasks
load and store floating point registers and check for corruption. This tests
the ability of tasks to safely share floating point hardware resources, even
when switching occurs preemptively. (Note that both sets of tests run
concurrently even though they report their progress at different times.)
The demonstration utilizes microkernel resource APIs, timers, semaphores,
round robin scheduling, and floating point support.
