How about "there will be likely no such CPUs/systems in the future"?
Your patch will force every new CPU to add FPUEX option to the cpu_option,
where apparently no place really need to use it.
Leaving FPU exception enabled for a CPU that does not generate FPU exception
is acceptable. (because it does *not* generate FPU exceptions). And hooking
up/dispatching the FPU exception interrupt is system-specific already anyway.
It, however, makes sense to provide a common wrapper code for fpu interrupt to
jump to fpu exception handling code.
Over-abstraction can make the picture cloudy rather than clear. My 2 cents.
