Why doesn't this code use "kernel_fpu_begin()" and "kernel_fpu_end()"?

The raid6 code is crap, and slower. It does "fsave/frstor" or movaps or
other crud, and the thing is, it shouldn't. It should just do
kernel_fpu_begin/end(), which does it all right, and avoids saving any
state at all unless it's being used by the user RIGHT NOW.

The code looks like it's designed to be included from userspace for
testing; as it compiles without this include (and has no other
includes), I chose not to add it.

Linus makes a good point, but someone who actually knows the code
should, y'know, test it and stuff...

It should use kernel_fpu_begin() imho. If someone wants to test
it in user space again they can add dummy definitions of that
to their user space header.

I hadn't seen this thread until now, when Neil pointed me to the thread.

Using kernel_fpu_begin() ... kernel_fpu_end() is probably indeed the
best option.

So does this look right (no, I haven't compiled it yet)

No, the whole raid6_*_save_t should be removed. I'll try to have a
patch for you later.
