Doubt Regarding Floating Point Arithmetic

[me storage]

Hi
I am reading LDD .In that i didn't understand one point .In Chapter
2(Building and Running Modules) they mentioned that
 " Kernel code cannot do floating point arithmetic"
.My doubt is which code is used for floating point arithmetic that means at
low level?

Thank you
