Add helper function that ensures the floating point registers for
the current task are active. Use with preemption disabled.

How am I to understand that "fpregs_changes" thing? That FPU registers
changes will begin and end respectively?

I probably would call them fpregs_lock and fpregs_unlock even if
it isn't doing any locking to denote that FPU regs are locked and
inaccessible inside the region.

And why the "__" prefix? Is there a counterpart without the "__" coming?

And that second part of a cleanup looks strange in this patch. Why isn't
it in a separate patch or how is it related to the addition of the
helpers?

Thx.

correct.

They are accessible inside the region. But they should not be touched by
context switch code (and later BH).
Is that what you meant?

No. I picked up the patches, that function was named like that. I kept
it. That __ probably denotes that it is an internal function but then it
has to be used outside (KVM) if they plan to "reload" registers (which
happens if they switch between host/guest registers).

Two helpers are added:
- __fpregs_changes_{begin|end}()
  new.

- __fpregs_load_activate()
  refactored from switch_fpu_finish(),

I just don't like that "changes" name. So when called, those functions
practically lock the FPU regs from being accessed by others. So with

fpregs_lock
fpregs_unlock

for example, is kinda clear what's going on and you don't have to wonder
what it does.

Ok, so you can drop the "__".
