[PATCH 205/208] x86/fpu: Fix the 'nofxsr' boot parameter to also clear X86_FEATURE_FXSR_OPT

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 14:02:16 EST


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.
