Chang?

I have no idea how that clearcpuid evaluation ended up in the FPU code, but
it does not belong here at all as it can turn off arbitrary cpuid bits.

Please move this out first into a more sensible place in kernel/cpu/

Bah. For a silly per cpu variable you add a separate patch, but here you do
2 things in one go:

  1) Change the parser

  2) Change the call site.

No, you know exactly how this should be done.
