Hi,
I did not received too much feedbacks about Part I stability, but I went on=
,
so Part II is available for tests.

It presents an mmx copy which doesn't give much performance increases but
what I need now is testing for correctness. In particular I would see
feedbacks about races inside dropping/undropping FPU mechanism. It would be
better testing with PREEMPTION + FULL_PREEMPTION enabled (and maybe on SMP
archs).

Some minor styling issues have been fixed of the previous patch.

This mmx copy is not intended to be in final release, this is just a testin=
g
issue in order to involve CPU < P4 & friends.

For anything else, mail to me.

Attilio
