Improve the memory layout of 'struct fpu': - change ->fpregs_active from 'int' to 'char' - it's just a single flag and modern x86 CPUs can do efficient byte accesses. - pack related fields closer to each other: often 'fpu->state' will not be touched, while the other fields will - so pack them into a group. Also add comments to each field, describing their purpose, and add some background information about lazy restores. Also fix an obsolete, lazy switching related comment in fpu_copy()'s description.
