Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86/xsave: Move xsave initialization to after parsing early parameters

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

Move the XSAVE initialization code to be after parsing early parameters.
I don't see any reason why the FPU code needs to be initialized that
early, nothing else in the initialization phase uses XSAVE.
This is useful to be able to handle command line parameters in the
XSAVE initialization code.
