Makes sense - I've split out the patch below and adjusted the rest of the 
series. Is this what you had in mind?

Note that I also robustified the macro a bit:

 -# define x86_task_fpu(task) ((struct fpu *)((void *)task + sizeof(*task)))
 +# define x86_task_fpu(task) ((struct fpu *)((void *)(task) + sizeof(*(task))))

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Introduce the x86_task_fpu() helper method

The per-task FPU context/save area is allocated right
next to task_struct() - introduce the x86_task_fpu()
helper that calculates this explicitly from the
task pointer.
