On arch/ppc, Soft_emulate_8xx was used when full math emulation was
turned off to emulate a minimal subset of floating point load/store
instructions, to avoid needing a soft-float toolchain.  This function
is called, but not present, on arch/powerpc, causing a build error
if floating point emulation is turned off.

As soft-float toolchains are now common, I'm deleting the call rather
than moving Soft_emulate_8xx over to arch/powerpc.
We should move the Soft_emulate_8xx code over.  I see no reason to  
break a usage model that existed in arch/ppc.
