    x86: fix merge mistake in i387.c · 609b5297
    Jan Beulich authored
    convert_fxsr_to_user() in 2.6.24's i387_32.c did this, and
    convert_to_fxsr() also does the inverse, so I assume it's an oversight
    that it is no longer being done.
    
    [ mingo@elte.hu:
    
      we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last
      Instruction Opcode' (->fop) field in the legacy user_i387_ia32_struct
      that PTRACE_GETFPREGS/PTRACE_SETFPREGS uses.
    
      it's probably pure legacy - i'd be surprised if any user-space relied on
      the FPU Last Opcode in any way. But indeed we used to do it previously
      so the most conservative thing is to preserve that piece of information.
