Yes, and more. math_state_restore() assumes that it is called with irqs
disabled. At least if !tsk_used_math. That is why 3/3 calls init_fpu()
first. Not only this doesn't look clean, this is simply not true in
general.
The comment above init_fpu() is simply wrong. And unlazy_fpu() from
there doesn't look nice. This mixes 2 completely differents things.

Yes, I'll try to make the cleanups on top of these changes. And let me
repeat that there is another reason for 1/3 and 2/3 at least (3/3 makes
sense too), if we add TIF_LOAD_FPU we need to avoid the performance
regression (irq_fpu_usable() should not fail if !__thread_has_fpu()).
Oleg.
