We don't do any lazy restore anymore, what we have are two pieces of optimization: - no-FPU tasks that don't save/restore the FPU context (kernel threads are such) - cached FPU registers maintained via the fpu->last_cpu field. This means that if an FPU task context switches to a non-FPU task then we can maintain the FPU registers as an in-FPU copies (cache), and skip the restoration of them once we switch back to the original FPU-using task. Update all the comments that still referred to old 'lazy' and 'unlazy' concepts.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
