Bug #12793
closed
kernel FPU support
100%
Description
The ability for the kernel to use the FPU is a prerequisite for porting the ZFS HW-accelerated raidz
calculations from OpenZFS. Issue 12668 is the first phase of that work, although that issue
does not enable HW acceleration.

Ticket 12794 depends on this work. There is no consumer for the kernel FPU
support included as part of this ticket (12793), but we want to integrate this standalone
for proper code review and to clearly give credit for this work. 12794 will deliver
the first consumer.
We have an initial implementation by Robert Mustacchi when he was at Joyent,
along with follow-on enhancements and bug fixes to that code.

We also need it to access UEFI RT.

Since there is no consumer as part of this change, it can't be tested on its own, but there is a full set of test results in 12794 (the first consumer of the KFPU support).
