[PATCH 2.5] FPU

STALE8649d

From: Vivien Chappelier <hidden>
Date: 2003-01-26 01:57:34

Hi,

	At various places in the 2.5 kernel, the fpu is accessed in
kernel mode with CU1 not set, causing an unexpected exception. This patch
makes sure FPU can be accessed by the kernel, though it may only
be a workaround. Any comment from someone with a better understanding of
the FPU access/context switching code?

Vivien.
