So there were a few places, the patch below should cure all warnings
that I was able to trigger.
- x86_64 boots to user-space in KVM/qemu
- i386 math-emu boots to init (not sure if it works though)
Note that we weren't actually using src_fpu for anything useful in
fpu_clone() anymore.
So this now looks like something that looks useful and clean, but the
changes are quite a bit more scary than I wanted them to be ...
Thanks,
Ingo
