Subject: [patch 2/2] x86, fpu: lazy allocation of FPU area - v4

Only allocate the FPU area when the application actually uses FPU, i.e., in the
first lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps.

Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <[email protected]>
Cc: Arjan van de Ven <[email protected]>
---
v4: Handles the kmem_cache_alloc() failures.
v3: Fixed the non-atomic calling sequence in atomic context.
v2: Ported to x86.git#testing with some name changes.
