The function fpu__init_system() is executed before parse_early_param().
This causes wrong fpu configuration. In addition, there are three related
issues:

  1. XGETBV1 is enabled when noxsave is given
  2. MPX is enabled when eagerfpu=off is given
  3. AVX is enabled when eagerfpu=off is given

  Issues 1 and 3 are existing bugs. Issue 2 is a fallout from the
  command-line parsing move.

The following four patches fix these issues.

yu-cheng yu (4):
  x86/fpu: Fix early fpu command-line parsing.
  x86/fpu: Disable XGETBV1 when no XSAVE.
  x86/fpu: Disable MPX when eagerfpu is off.
  x86/fpu: Disable AVX when eagerfpu is off.
