Fix formatting to:

Please expand that paragraph here as you have it in the bugzilla so that
it is clear in the future how that can happen.

Ok, thanks for this. Here's what I think you should do but I'm open to
better ideas:

Instead of adding that kernel module which is x86-specific
to a generic lib/ directory, it should be in, say,
tools/testing/selftests/x86/test_fpu_module.c or so and instead of
reading /proc/sys/debug/test_fpu, the user portion of the code would
simply modprobe it.

Upon load, the module would simply execute its test_fpu() function and
that's it. The user side could then test the modprobe result. And rmmod.
Rinse and repeat for the next test.

But maybe others think the proc fs file is better. Adding Andy who likes
to play with selftests. In any case, the file should not be in /proc but
in debugfs.

What is also missing is the user portion doing ldmxcsr before running
the test and the test should be causing at least one exception which
MXCSR masks off.

Perhaps then having a debugfs to control the module might make more
sense... just thinking out loud here.

Leaving in the rest for the others to see.

Thx.
