As the second patch shows, enabling CpU exception in kernel is
somewhat tricky and fragile (and add an additional instruction in
resume() code).

I still think the other one (a patch titled "rewrite
restore_fp_context/save_fp_context") might be better.  It is simple
and does not add additional overhead for most cases, I suppose.

If you took the other one, the first patch in this patchset is still
can be applied too as is, and some part of the third patch is still
useful.  Here is an alternative of the third patch which can be used
with the "rewrite restore_fp_context/save_fp_context" patch.


Subject: Cleanup FPU ownership management

Currently preempt_disable/preempt_enable are scattered in FPU
ownership management code.  This patch makes own_fpu() and lost_fpu()
can save/restore FPU context in itself and make these functions (and
init_fpu() too) preempt-proof.  This makes the FPU management codes
much readable.  Also this patch introduce raw_cpu_has_fpu macro which
is to be used if the caller did not need atomic context.
