IMHO it would be better to push this to the C code and not make the
asm more complicated.  Something like:

dotraplinkage void
do_simd_coprocessor_error(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG
        /* AMD 486 bug: invd from userspace calls exception 19 instead of #GP */
        if (!static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_XMM)) {
                do_general_protection(regs, error_code);
                return;
        }
#endif
        RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(!rcu_is_watching(), "entry code didn't wake RCU");
        math_error(regs, error_code, X86_TRAP_XF);
}
