2.6.26-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl>

commit e0d22d03c06c4e2c194d7010bc1e4a972199f156 upstream

The fdiv detection code writes s32 integer into
the boot_cpu_data.fdiv_bug.
However, the boot_cpu_data.fdiv_bug is only char (s8)
field so the detection overwrites already set fields for
other bugs, e.g. the f00f bug field.

Use local s32 variable to receive result.

This is a partial fix to Bugzilla #9928  - fixes wrong
information about the f00f bug (tested) and probably
for coma bug (I have no cpu to test this).
