Those are stupid and code should use static_cpu_has_safe() or
boot_cpu_has() instead. Kill the least used and unused ones.
The remaining ones need more careful inspection before a conversion can
happen. On the TODO.

We already have fpu/types.h, move i387.h to fpu/api.h.
The file name has become a misnomer anyway: it offers generic FPU APIs,
but is not limited to i387 functionality.

On CPUs with 64-byte last level cache lines, this yields roughly
10% better performance, independent of CPU vendor or specific
model (as far as I was able to test).

Besides folding duplicate code, this has the advantage of fixing
x86-64's failure to use proper (para-virtualizable) accessors
for dealing with CR0.TS.

use kernel_fpu_begin/end() instead of unconditionally accessing cr0 and
saving/restoring just the few used xmm/ymm registers.
This has some advantages like:
* If the task's FPU state is already active, then kernel_fpu_begin()
will just save the user-state and avoiding the read/write of cr0.
In general, cr0 accesses are much slower.
* Manual save/restore of xmm/ymm registers will affect the 'modified' and
the 'init' optimizations brought in the by xsaveopt/xrstor
infrastructure.
* Foward compatibility with future vector register extensions will be a
problem if the xmm/ymm registers are manually saved and restored
(corrupting the extended state of those vector registers).
With this patch, there was no significant difference in the xor throughput
using AVX, measured during boot.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
