Incidentally, Al Viro asked a very good question the other day, which is
why can't we just set mxcsr unconditionally here? I don't think any
CPUs with FXSAVE and no MXCSR (Pentium II from Intel,
Crusoe/TM-3xxx/5xxx from Transmeta, and presumably some of the K6
generation from AMD) ever looked at this field.

I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.
