I.e. like the patch below, on top of your patch plus the bug.h patch I sent.
Only build tested.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu, sched: Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and use it on x86
Don't burden architectures without dynamic task_struct sizing with the overhead
of dynamic sizing.
Also optimize the x86 code a bit by caching task_struct_size.
