From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com>
I don't think it is really possible to have a system where CPUID
enumerates support for XSAVE but that it does not have FP/SSE
(they are "legacy" features and always present).
But, I did manage to hit this case in qemu when I enabled its
somewhat shaky XSAVE support. The bummer is that the FPU is set
up before we parse the command-line or have *any* console support
including earlyprintk.
So a BUG() here is worthless. All it does it guarantee that
if/when we hit this case we have an empty console. So, remove
the BUG() and try to limp along by disabling XSAVE and trying to
continue.
