    Pull x86 fpu updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The biggest change in terms of impact is the changing of the FPU
      context switch model to 'eagerfpu' for all CPU types, via: commit
      58122bf1: "x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs"
    
      This makes all FPU saves and restores synchronous and makes the FPU
      code a lot more obvious to read.  In the next cycle, if this change is
      problem free, we'll remove the old lazy FPU restore code altogether.
    
      This change flushed out some old bugs, which should all be fixed by
      now, BYMMV"
