This commit fully implements the inner logic of KeSaveFloatingPointState and KeRestoreFloatingPointState routines. On ReactOS we're currently simply doing a FNSAVE operation whereas on Windows it is a lot more than that.
On Windows Server 2003 the logic more or less goes like this. In order to save the FPU state the NPX state of the current thread has to be checked first, that is, if NPX is loaded and currently charged for the current thread then the system will acquire the NPX registers actively present. From that point it performs either a FNSAVE or FXSAVE
if FX is actually supported. Otherwise the control word and MXCsr registers are obtained.
FXSAVE/FNSAVE operation is done solely if the FX save area is held up in a pool allocation. Pool allocation occurs if it's been found out that the NPX IRQL of the thread is not the same as the current thread which from where it determines if the interrupt level is APC then allocate some pool memory and hold the save area there, otherwise
the save area in question is grabbed from the current processor control region. If NPX is not loaded for the current thread then the FPU state is obtained from the NPX frame.
In our case we'll be doing something way simpler. Only do a FXSAVE/FNSAVE directly of the FPU state registers, in this way we are simplifying the code and the actual logic of Save/Restore mechanism.
Currently, these features are vital for the kernel:
- CPUID instruction
- CMPXCHG8B instruction
- TSC aka Time Stamp Counter
All of that have to be present on i586
Also generate processor identifier properly based on this value
on the Configuration Manager machine-dependent initialization.
Update processor driver INF file accordingly.

We have a special file, tag.h, which serves as a place to store whatever kernel pool allocation tag yet we still have some tags sparse over the kernel code... So just re-group them in one unique place.
Addendum to 608032bd and 835c3023.
The IRQL is actually raised by KeFreezeExecution() and lowered by
KeThawExecution(), always to HIGH_IRQL on MP systems, or if necessary
on UP. These functions are called respectively by KdEnterDebugger()
and KdExitDebugger().
KiSetTrapContext is an asm wrapper around RtlSetUnwindContext, which first stores an exception frame to assure that all non-volatile registers were put on the stack, then calls RtlSetUnwindContext to update their first saving positions on the stack and finally restore the exception frame to potentially load any updated registers, that haven't been saved elsewhere on the stack.
