Would it be possible (or even useful) to change the crt0 code to zero the fpu area in the task struct rather than actually touch the fpu itself?
Yes, that'd be useful; it'd make it much easier to note that a process has never used the FPU at all. It also avoids disturbing the FPU registers each time a process starts up.
