-[PATCH] powerpc: change giveup_fpu/altivec to disable VSX for current
-
-When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX in current.
-If we don't, on return to current it may execute a VSX instruction
-(before the next FP), and not have it's register state refreshed
-correctly from the thread_struct.  Ditto for altivec.
-
-This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs (which calls
-giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs) to return to userspace with FP off
-but VSX on.  Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before another FP
-instruction, it will proceed without another exception and hence have
-the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
-
-   lfs unaligned   <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
-
-   VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
-                      wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31
-                      (overlapping the FPRs)
