This quick patch adds CONFIG_RUNTIME_FXSR=y to M686 defines. FXSR support will be always compiled in and used only when available (late PII/C). I see no disadvantages (maybe slightly bigger bzImage). Patch is against 2.4.0-test8. Compiled/tested on Celeron Mendocino. FXSR support is detected and turned on during boot and works ok. Linus please ApplyNow!
