Yes, I will do this instead.
Lookin at this, I found that xsave is broken for (!HAVE_HWFP). This
should be the case if config MATH_EMULATION and 'no387' kernel
parameter are set and xsave exists. xsave will not work because
x86/math-emu and xsave share the same memory. But this case can be
treated as corner case. Maybe we should simply disable xsave then.
