[PATCH 01/11] x86, fpu: kill LWP support

[Dave Hansen]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

LightWeight Profiling was evidently an AMD profiling feature that
we never got around to implementing.  Remove the references to it.

This patch is a *bit* worrisome becuase it will implicitly cause
'struct xregs_state' to shrink.  This effectively removes some
unused padding that we had in there.  It might expose other bugs.
