It seems very recent, hit mainline on 30 Apr.
Also we may want to think if there's something cheaper than fx_save to
trigger a math exception that doesn't alter the fpu state, I didn't
think much about it given it's such a slow path that's probably not
worth changing with something more complicated anyway. And bringing in
a few l1 exclusive cachelines in the cpu should allow the second
instruction to repeat faster than the first.
