[PATCH 00/10, -v4] x86/fpu: Remove thread::fpu

[Ingo Molnar]

This series is one of the dependencies of the fast-headers work,
which aims to reduce header complexity by removing <asm/processor.h>
from the <linux/sched.h> dependency chain, which headers are headers
are fat enough already even if we do not combine them.

To achieve that decoupling, one of the key steps is to not embedd any
C types from <asm/processor.h> into task_struct.

The only architecture that relies on that in a serious fashion is x86,
via the 'struct thread::fpu' variable size structure. The series below
attempts to resolve it by using a calculated fpu context area address
value via the x86_task_fpu() helper. The allocation layout of
task_struct + fpu-save-area doesn't change.

Changes in -v3:

 - Restructure the series to be easier to review
 - Extend the debug checks to all PF_KTHREAD tasks
 - A few cleanups on top
