This patch, against ARM/hard_vfp_4_4_branch, removes an obsolete paragraph 
from the -mfloat-abi documentation.  Since the branch supports 
-mfloat-abi=hard for VFP, the paragraph is no longer accurate there.  OK 
to commit to the branch?

	* doc/invoke.texi (-mfloat-abi=@var{name}): Remove statement about
	-mfloat-abi=hard not being supported for VFP.

 The default depends on the specific target configuration.  Note that
 the hard-float and soft-float ABIs are not link-compatible; you must
 compile your entire program with the same ABI, and link with a
