Booting a 486 with "no387 nofxsr" ends with
| math_emulate: 0060:c101987d
| Kernel panic - not syncing: Math emulation needed in kernel
on the first context switch in user land. The reason is that
copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() tries `fnsave' which does not work. This
happens since commit f1c8cd0176078 ("x86/fpu: Change fpu->fpregs_active
users to fpu->fpstate_active").
Add a check for X86_FEATURE_FPU before trying to save FPU registers (we
have such a check switch_fpu_finish() already).
Fixes: f1c8cd0176078 ("x86/fpu: Change fpu->fpregs_active users to fpu->fpstate_active")
