This looks wrong, too:
/* * Once per bootup FPU initialization sequences that will run on most x86 CPUs: */ static void __init fpu__init_system_generic(void) { /* * Set up the legacy init FPU context. (xstate init might overwrite this * with a more modern format, if the CPU supports it.) */ fpstate_init_fxstate(&init_fpstate.fxsave); <-- wrong format on pre-FXSR CPUs
fpu__init_system_mxcsr(); }
