x86: Disable generation of traditional x87 instructions
We recently had the case where wrongly used floating-constant 'E' caused the generation of traditional x87 instructions in kernel code and wreaking all kinds of havoc. Disable the generation of those too. This will save people a lot of time when trying to debug such issues by erroring out of the build instead of let them manifest themselves in very spectacular and happy-crappy ways at runtime. We're using -mno-fp-ret-in-387 in addition to -mno-80387 (which is == -msoft-float) because, as the gcc manpage says: On machines where a function returns floating-point results in the 80387 register stack, some floating-point opcodes may be emitted even if -msoft-float is used. so we want to turn off *all* non-integer instructions involving any architectural FPU state, unless it is absolutely necessary (and those cases need special handling anyway).
