Since you removed all references for fpregset now, you probably want to
remove the declaration of the variable above.

With this code, you removed all the reference for variable
pkey_reg_offset, thus, its declaration could be removed also.

Since the variable pkey_reg_ptr is only used for Intel code (inside
#ifdefs), you probably want to #ifdef the variable declaration also,
avoid triggering "unused variable" warning on non-Intel machines.
