i think a vital clue can be found in the original report:
| I am able to reproduce the issue consistently on my laptop using qemu
| (which helped speed debugging a bit). I have also narrowed it down to
| include/asm-x86/i387.h::__save_init_fpu in (32 bit version) - it dies
| somewhere in calling the following line:
so it might just be incorrect Qemu emulation of a PII's NOP instruction?
(which btw. probably proves that Linux is the first OS to make
intelligent use of those instructions?)
