[Bug target/40236] New: Request a single option to turn off all instructions which can cause #TS

[hpa at zytor dot com]

In the Linux kernel, we use (except in certain very restricted contexts) only
the subset of the x86 instruction set that can never cause #TS faults and thus
doesn't use the FSAVE/FXSAVE/XSAVE state.  It appears that we need to add new
-mno- options (-mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3...) as gcc starts using new subsets
of the x86 instruction set.  This is error prone, for obvious reasons.

We would really like a single option that would turn off all instructions
subsets that can cause a #TS fault.
