So if your system uses fxsr() then that function shouldn't matter. If
your system uses xsave() (which I believe it does) then the first
section is the "fxregs state" which is the same as in fxsr's case (see
struct xregs_state). So it shouldn't make a difference and that is why I
strongly assumed it is a miss-merge. However it makes a difference…
So the hunk at the end should make things work again (my FPU test case
passes). I don't know why we convert things forth and back in the signal
handler but I think something here is different for xsave's legacy area
vs fxsave.
