           Summary: ARMv7 vstm and vldm instructions can only operate on a
                    maximum of 16 registers.
    Classification: Unclassified

           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

According to the ARM Assembler Reference, the vstm and vldm instructions can only operate on a maximum of 16 registers.  See http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dht0002a/ch01s03s02.html and http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dht0002a/ch01s03s02.html.

The ARMv7 probe code was wrongly using these instructions to store and load all 32 'd' registers.
