Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/fpu for v2.6.32
Linus,
Please pull the x86-fpu-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git x86-fpu-for-linus
Thanks,
Ingo
------------------>
Jeremy Fitzhardinge (4):
x86: split out core __math_state_restore
x86-32: make sure clts is batched during context switch
x86-64: move unlazy_fpu() into lazy cpu state part of context switch
x86-64: move clts into batch cpu state updates when preloading fpu
