Cover letter [PATCH 00/17] x86, mpx updates for 4.1 (take 2)

Hi x86 maintainers,

It appeared that my attempt to send this earlier this week failed to reach at least some of the intended recipients. I updated a few of the patch descriptions and am resending.

There are 4 basic things going on here:
1. Make FPU/xsave code preempt safe and work properly
2. Add trace points to make kernel and app debugging easier
3. Add a boot-time disable for mpx
4. Support 32-bit binaries to run on 64-bit kernels

I've hesitated sending this in the past few weeks as the FPU code had a lot of churn and affected our ability to test on current kernels. It seems to have settled down and appears more stable now.

These are available against 4.0-rc4 in git as well:
