2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Before we do an EMMS in the AMD FXSAVE information leak workaround we need to clear any pending exceptions, otherwise we trap with a floating-point exception inside this code.
