SubjectRe: [PATCH 4/6] x86,fpu: use disable_task_lazy_fpu_restore helper
I'll try to read this patch tomorrow. Too late for me.

I think it is fine, but

perhaps this makes sense anyway, but I am not sure if the changelog is right.

Note that we clear PF_USED_MATH, last_fpu/has_fpu have no effect after this.

I am also wondering if we can remove this task_disable_lazy_fpu_restore...
I mean, perhaps we should shift this into __thread_fpu_end() path. But this
is almost off-topic and in any case this patch should not do this.

Oleg.
