Before we do an EMMS in the AMD FXSAVE information leak workaround we
need to clear any pending exceptions, otherwise we trap with a
floating-point exception inside this code.

(cherry picked from commit 26bef1318adc1b3a530ecc807ef99346db2aa8b0)
[wt: in 2.6.32, patch applies to arch/x86/include/asm/i387.h. There's
 no static_cpu_has() so we use boot_cpu_has() like other kernels do
 with gcc3.
