Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86/fpu: Fix FPU context sizing boot regression, introduce dynamic task_struct

This series builds on top of Dave Hansen's initial patch that introduced
dynamic task_struct sizing.

The second patch improves the dynamic allocation to not impact non-x86 architectures,
and to make it a bit faster on x86.

( I kept the structure layout build checks in x86 code for the time being,
  because some of the cross-builds failed with the generic check and I didn't
  want to introduce a bigger cross section for any failures. And it's not like
  we'll apply generic sched.h changes without testing x86. )

Thanks,

    Ingo
