Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Two families of fixes:

   - Fix an FPU context related boot crash on newer x86 hardware with
     larger context sizes than what most people test.  To fix this
     without ugly kludges or extensive reverts we had to touch core task
     allocator, to allow x86 to determine the task size dynamically, at
     boot time.

     I've tested it on a number of x86 platforms, and I cross-built it
     to a handful of architectures:

                                        (warns)               (warns)
       testing     x86-64:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing     x86-32:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing        arm:  -git:  pass ( 1359),  -tip:  pass ( 1359)
       testing       cris:  -git:  pass ( 1031),  -tip:  pass ( 1031)
       testing       m32r:  -git:  pass ( 1135),  -tip:  pass ( 1135)
       testing       m68k:  -git:  pass ( 1471),  -tip:  pass ( 1471)
       testing       mips:  -git:  pass ( 1162),  -tip:  pass ( 1162)
       testing    mn10300:  -git:  pass ( 1058),  -tip:  pass ( 1058)
       testing     parisc:  -git:  pass ( 1846),  -tip:  pass ( 1846)
       testing      sparc:  -git:  pass ( 1185),  -tip:  pass ( 1185)

     ... so I hope the cross-arch impact 'none', as intended.

   - Fix various NMI handling related bugs unearthed by the big asm code
     rewrite and generally make the NMI code more robust and more
     maintainable while at it.  These changes are a bit late in the
     cycle, I hope they are still acceptable.

---help---
This option enables sanity checks in x86's low-level entry code.
Some of these sanity checks may slow down kernel entries and
exits or otherwise impact performance.

This is currently used to help test NMI code.
