603 CPUs have the same issue that some 750 CPUs have in that they can crash
in funny ways if a store from an FPU register instruction is executed on a
register that has never been initialized since power on. This patch fixes
it by making sure all FP registers have been properly initialized at kernel
boot.

Becky pointed out that I had a copy/paste issue (duplicated the call to
__init_fpu_registers). Going to find the brown paper bag now.
Paul, (the update) is also in my powerpc-tree since its a pretty trivial patch.
