Subject[PATCH 3.16 01/63] x86/fpu: Fix the 'nofxsr' boot parameter to also clear X86_FEATURE_FXSR_OPT
3.16.58-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

commit d364a7656c1855c940dfa4baf4ebcc3c6a9e6fd2 upstream.

I tried to simulate an ancient CPU via this option, and
found that it still has fxsr_opt enabled, confusing the
FPU code.

Make the 'nofxsr' option also clear FXSR_OPT flag.
