From: Robert Richter on 21 Jul 2010 13:30 xsave is broken for (!HAVE_HWFP). This is the case if config MATH_EMULATION is enabled, 'no387' kernel parameter is set and xsave exists. xsave will not work because x86/math-emu and xsave share the same memory. As this case can be treated as corner case we simply disable xsave then.
