Subject: Re: Bad FPU state detected at restore_fpregs_from_fpstate,
 reinitializing FPU registers. WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/extable.c:127
 fixup_exception

Does this fix it?

I think moving the explicit 'struct fpu' out of task_struct took the
knowledge away from the compiler on how to keep the XSAVE buffer
aligned.  Once that happened, we ended up with unaligned XSAVE
operations and bad things happened.

Also, open-coding "task + sizeof(*task)" in three different places seems
suboptimal.
