[Freemint-list] Falcon + _FPU cookie

Hi,

i have just found in some doc that on a falcon, accessing $fff940 (the address 
for a memory mapped FPU) does not generate a bus-error. Can somebody prove 
that? If that is true, then the fpu detection code will always report an 
SFP004 on falcons, even if there is none (and afaik, falcons never had one).

I also noticed that the routine is not quite right: if a real FPU is detected, 
then the SFP004 will not be tested. It might be rather uncommon, but you could 
have an MSTE with SFP004 and upgraded it with an FPU, in which case the cookie 
should report both.
