[PATCH v1 0/8] x86: Always use eager-fpu

[Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Remove the eager-fpu option and cleanup the code accordingly.

The first patch removes the option and includes the justification.
The rest of the patches are cleanup and mostly have no functional change.

I measured a 0.7% geometric mean improvement with this series across a few
different benchmarks (Linux VMs on an AMD host). I'm not sure the
improvement is statistically significant, but it likely indicates it is
no worse than before.

A previous series to do this was submitted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/20240304091307.2295344-1-fouad.hilly@xxxxxxxxx/

With the exception of patch 4, I haven't kept authorship and sign-offs
since this is a reimplementation, albeit ending up at a similar place.

Thanks,
Ross
