IMHO it would be better to push this to the C code and not make the
asm more complicated. Something like:

dotraplinkage void
do_simd_coprocessor_error(struct pt_regs *regs, long error_code)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG
/* AMD 486 bug: invd from userspace calls exception 19 instead of #GP */
if (!static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_XMM)) {
do_general_protection(regs, error_code);
return;
}
#endif
RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(!rcu_is_watching(), "entry code didn't wake RCU");
math_error(regs, error_code, X86_TRAP_XF);
}
