<title>um: Save FPU registers between task switches</title>

Some time ago Jeff prepared 42daba316557 ("uml: stop saving process FP
state") for UML to stop saving the process FP state between task
switches.  The assumption was that since with SKAS0 every guest process
runs inside a host process context the host OS will take care of keeping
the proper FP state.

Unfortunately this is not true for multi-threaded applications, where
all guest threads share a single host process context yet all may use
the FPU on their own.  Although I haven't verified it I suspect things
to be even worse in SKAS3 mode where all guest processes run inside a
single host process.

The patch reintroduces the saving and restoring of the FP context
between task switches.

[richard@nod.at: Ingo posted this patch in 2009, sadly it was never applied
and got lost. Now in 2011 the problem was reported by Gunnar.]
