Subject: [PATCH] x86/FPU: Fix FPU handling on legacy FPU machines

486 cores like Intel Quark support only the very old, legacy x87 FPU
(FSAVE/FRSTOR, CPUID bit FXSR is not set). And our FPU code wasn't
handling the saving and restoring there properly. First, Andy Shevchenko
reported a splat:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 823 at arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:163 fpu__clear+0x8c/0x160

which was us trying to execute FXRSTOR on those machines even though
they don't support it.

After taking care of that, Bryan O'Donoghue reported that a simple FPU
test still failed because we weren't initializing the FPU state properly
on those machines.

Take care of all that.
