Ok, here's a fix which boots fine here in qemu. Ingo, it would be cool
if you gave it a run to verify.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] x86, FPU: Fix FPU initialization

c70293d0e3fe ("x86: Get rid of ->hard_math and all the FPU asm
fu") converted the FPU detection code to C. Yours truly, in his
overzealousness, used static_cpu_has() too early, before alternatives
have run, leading to the checks in fpu_init() to fail and fpu_init() to
set CR0.EM.

This, in turn, lead to an early NULL ptr due to
a chicken-and-an-egg issue (full details here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130410161122.GI6857@pd.tnic).

Fix it back to the normal CPU feature checks.
