Applied, thanks.

I added a note above eager_fpu_init() why it is marked as __init_refok:

Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Kill eager_fpu_init_bp()

Now that eager_fpu_init_bp() does setup_init_fpu_buf() only and
nothing else, we can remove it and move this code into its "caller",
eager_fpu_init().

This avoids the confusing games with "static __refdata void (*boot_func)":

init_xstate_buf can be NULL only during boot, so it is safe to call the
__init-annotated setup_init_fpu_buf() function in eager_fpu_init(), we
just need to mark it as __init_refok.
