Some use of those functions were providing unitialized values to those
functions. Notably, when reading 0 bytes from an empty file on a 9P
filesystem, the return code of read() was not 0.
Tested with this simple program:
#include <assert.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
assert(argc == 2);
char buffer[256];
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY);
assert(fd >= 0);
assert(read(fd, buffer, 0) == 0);
return 0;
}

During later stages of math-emu bootup the following crash triggers:

The reason is the incorrect assumption in fpu_copy(), that FNSAVE
can be executed from math-emu kernels as well.
Don't try to copy the registers, the soft state will be copied
by fork anyway, so the child task inherits the parent task's
soft math state.
With this fix applied math-emu kernels boot up fine on modern
hardware and the 'no387 nofxsr' boot options.

On a math-emu bootup the following crash occurs:
Initializing CPU#0
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:779!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
[...]
EIP is at do_device_not_available+0xe/0x70
[...]

[<c18238e6>] error_code+0x5a/0x60

[<c1b542b4>] i386_start_kernel+0x82/0x86
The reason is that in the following commit:
b1276c48e91b ("x86/fpu: Initialize fpregs in fpu__init_cpu_generic()")
I failed to consider math-emu's limitation that it cannot execute the
FNINIT instruction in kernel mode.
The long term fix might be to allow math-emu to execute (certain) kernel
mode FPU instructions, but for now apply the safe (albeit somewhat ugly)
fix: initialize the emulation state explicitly without trapping out to
the FPU emulator.
