restore_fpu_checking() calls init_fpu() in error conditions.
While this is wrong(as our main intention is to clear the fpu state of
the thread), this was benign before commit 92d140e21f ("x86: fix taking
DNA during 64bit sigreturn").
Post commit 92d140e21f, live FPU registers may not belong to this
process at this error scenario.
In the error condition for restore_fpu_checking() (especially during the
64bit signal return), we are doing init_fpu(), which saves the live FPU
register state (possibly belonging to some other process context) into
the thread struct (through unlazy_fpu() in init_fpu()). This is wrong
and can leak the FPU data.
For the signal handler restore error condition in restore_i387(), clear
the fpu state present in the thread struct(before ultimately sending a
SIGSEGV for badframe).
For the paranoid error condition check in math_state_restore(), send a
SIGSEGV, if we fail to restore the state.

based on work from Eric, and add some timeout so don't dead loop when debug
device is not installed
v2: fix checkpatch warning
v3: move ehci struct def to linux/usrb/ehci_def.h from host/ehci.h
also add CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP to disable it by default
v4: address comments from Ingo, seperate ehci reg def moving to another patch
also add auto detect port that connect to debug device for Nvidia

This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel
module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator
allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between
different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can
modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice.
It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through
/dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are
changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.

This patch implements model specific OProfile init/exit functions for
x86 CPUs. Though there is more rework needed at the initialization
code, this new introduced functions allow it to keep model specific
code in the corresponding op_model_*.c files.
The function interface is the same as for oprofile_arch_init/exit().

It clobbers the user's %ecx register value (with the %ebp value).
