[Pkg-oss4-maintainers] Bug#693659: vmix floating-point mode does not use proper API on Linux

[Ben Hutchings]

Source: oss4
Version: 4.2-build2006-2
Severity: grave

The functions oss_fp_check(), oss_fp_save() and oss_fp_restore()
manipulate control registers without disabling preemption.  This
can result in corrupting the FPU state of other tasks, hence the
high severity.

They should be changed to use the API declared in <asm/i387.h>.

Ben.
