    kernel - Fix signal FP save/restore issues when AVX is enabled
    
    * The kernel was not saving/restoring the full FP context when entering into
      or returning from a signal, leading to corrupt FP registers even when
      AVX is not used, when AVX is enabled in the kernel.
    
      ANY SIGNAL COULD CORRUPT THE FP STATE.
    
    * Fixed by adjusting the on-user-stack fpsave area sizes and operation.
    
    * This unfortunately changes a number of user visible structures.
      ucontext_t, mcontext_t, sigcontext, sigframe.
    
      It is POSSIBLE that most userland use cases will be unaffected, but I'm
      not holding my breath.
