Commit 8792468da5e1 "powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without giving it up"
Expected format for the above is:

Commit 123456789abc ("text")
unexpectedly removed the MSR_FE0 and MSR_FE1 bits from the bitmask used to
update the MSR of the previous thread in __giveup_fpu() causing a KVM-PR MacOS
guest to lockup and panic the kernel.

Reinstate these bits to the MSR bitmask to enable MacOS guests to run under
32-bit KVM-PR once again without issue.

Should include a Fixes: and a Cc to stable ?

giving it up")
