x86: Fix booting with "no387 nofxsr"
Jesper Juhl reported that testing the software math-emulation by forcing
"no387" doesn't work on modern CPU's.
The reason was two-fold:
- you also need to pass in "nofxsr" to make sure that we not only don't
touch the old i387 legacy hardware, it also needs to disable the
modern XMM/FXSR sequences
- "nofxsr" didn't actually clear the capability bits immediately,
leaving the early boot sequence still using FXSR until we got to
the identify_cpu() stage.
This fixes the "nofxsr" flag to take effect immediately on the boot CPU.
