Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/11] x86,fpu: replace fpu_switch_t with a thread flag
From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>
Replace fpu_switch_t with a thread flag, in preparation for only
restoring the FPU state on return to user space.
I have left the code around fpu_lazy_restore intact, even though
there appears to be no protection against races with eg. ptrace,
and the optimization appears equally valid with eager fpu mode.
This is addressed later in the series.
