SubjectRe: irq_fpu_usable() is irreliable

Is this 'problem' a performance problem (code not being able to use the FPU
occasionally and hence sporadically performing poorly), or some sort of actual
stability/correctness problem?

Also, what CPU does the test system have, Intel or AMD? The FPU behavior can be
very different in the two cases.

Third, could you post such a problematic stack trace?

Thanks,

Ingo
