Xenomai might preempt linux when linux has cleared a tasks MSR_FP, but
not yet set last_task_used_math to NULL. As a result the tasks MSR_FP
will get set, although it should be cleared. If the task happens to hit
one of the codepaths that save FPU state if MSR_FP is set, the wrong FPU
state might be saved to the task. The attached patch should fix this. I
couldn't try it on most recent Xenomai trunk, because latency wouldn't
build anymore. However, I see no reason it shouldn't work. All thee
having trouble with X and Xenomai, give this a shot.
Additionally, there's also a Linux bug, which might cause corruption in
2.6.14 PREEMPT:

For solid performance that should also be applied on top of the I-pipe
patch.
