Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 fpu updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change in terms of impact is the changing of the FPU
  context switch model to 'eagerfpu' for all CPU types, via: commit
  58122bf1d856: "x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs"

  This makes all FPU saves and restores synchronous and makes the FPU
  code a lot more obvious to read.  In the next cycle, if this change is
  problem free, we'll remove the old lazy FPU restore code altogether.

  This change flushed out some old bugs, which should all be fixed by
  now, BYMMV"
