This is because the include guard in asm/fpu.h conflicts with the existing one
in asm/fpu/types.h (which doesn't match its filename), so the definition of
kernel_fpu_available() is not seen. I can fix up the include guard in
asm/fpu/types.h in the next version:

diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/types.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/types.h
