Andy Lutomirski b0dc553cfc x86/fpu: Make the EFI FPU calling convention explicit
EFI uses kernel_fpu_begin() to conform to the UEFI calling convention.
This specifically requires initializing FCW (FPU Control Word), whereas
no sane 64-bit kernel code should use legacy 387 operations that
reference FCW.

This should allow to safely change the default semantics of
kernel_fpu_begin() to stop initializing FCW on 64-bit kernels.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
