Yeah, that's a good patch I have queued up in tip:x86/percpu:

  24b8a23638cb ("x86/fpu: Clean up FPU switching in the middle of task switching")

Merged it shortly after you sent it:

  commit 24b8a23638cbf92449c353f828b1d309548c78f4

I planned to send an RFC pull request for these bits in this merge window, 
after all the other x86 trees.

Thanks,
