I see that this could be useful for certain debugging/hacking
activities, but I don't think it's generally useful enough to warrant
more kernel bloat.  I'd rather keep this patch separate from the
official tree.  On a side note, it seems to there are some race
conditions in incrementing the counters.

We could include more info in /proc/cpuinfo.  E.g., we could include a
count of the total number of fpswa and unaligned faults (on a per CPU
basis).  (Alpha Linux does this, if you want to look for an example).
If someone sent me a patch to do that, I'd be much more inclined to
apply it.
