From 5d2bd7009f306c82afddd1ca4d9763ad8473c216 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 14:58:52 -0700 Subject: x86, fpu: decouple non-lazy/eager fpu restore from xsave Decouple non-lazy/eager fpu restore policy from the existence of the xsave feature. Introduce a synthetic CPUID flag to represent the eagerfpu policy. "eagerfpu=on" boot paramter will enable the policy. Requested-by: H.
