[PATCH] x86: fix miscompile

From: James Bottomley
Date: Thu Apr 03 2008 - 10:53:54 EST


This patch local to the x86 tree introduced a fairly obvious compile
fault:

commit f22fc9998497af6c271385e2025e2fe71c6f15b0

x86: allocate FPU context to init task

I've attached the fix below (INIT_THREAD is a #defined initializer, not
an actual structure). However, if you get this tree into linux-next,
they'll do a much better job of shaking out bugs like this than I could.
