Subject[ 01/10] i387: math_state_restore() isnt called from asm
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

commit be98c2cdb15ba26148cd2bd58a857d4f7759ed38 upstream.

It was marked asmlinkage for some really old and stale legacy reasons.
Fix that and the equally stale comment.

Noticed when debugging the irq_fpu_usable() bugs.
