oh right. It needs an else. only for non-eager fpu case we should do stts()

  void __kernel_fpu_end(void)
  {
          if (use_eager_fpu()) {
                  struct task_struct *me = current;

                  if (tsk_used_math(me) && likely(!restore_fpu_checking(
me)))
                          return;
          } else
                  stts();
  }

thanks,
suresh
