No need for the externs.

This all fits on a single line.

No need for the braces, or else after a return.  In fact this could
be simplified down to:

	return cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_VSX_COMP) ||
		cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC_COMP) ||
		cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_FPU_UNAVAILABLE));

All the features are defined away if not supported (and we already rely
on that in fpu_support()).  So this could become:

	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_VSX_COMP))
		enable_kernel_vsx();
	else if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC_COMP))
		enable_kernel_altivec();
	else if (!cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_FPU_UNAVAILABLE))
		enable_kernel_fp();

Same for the disable path.
