CONFIG_AS_AVX was introduced by commit ea4d26ae24 ("raid5: add AVX
optimized RAID5 checksumming").
We raise the minimal supported binutils version from time to time.
The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5 ("kbuild: Raise the minimum
required binutils version to 2.21").
I confirmed the code in $(call as-instr,...) can be assembled by the
binutils 2.21 assembler and also by LLVM integrated assembler.
Remove CONFIG_AS_AVX, which is always defined.

We already have fpu/types.h, move i387.h to fpu/api.h.
The file name has become a misnomer anyway: it offers generic FPU APIs,
but is not limited to i387 functionality.

This affects xen pv guests with sufficiently old versions of xen and
sufficiently new hardware. On such a system, a guest with a btrfs
root won't even boot.

use kernel_fpu_begin/end() instead of unconditionally accessing cr0 and
saving/restoring just the few used xmm/ymm registers.
This has some advantages like:
* If the task's FPU state is already active, then kernel_fpu_begin()
will just save the user-state and avoiding the read/write of cr0.
In general, cr0 accesses are much slower.
* Manual save/restore of xmm/ymm registers will affect the 'modified' and
the 'init' optimizations brought in the by xsaveopt/xrstor
infrastructure.
* Foward compatibility with future vector register extensions will be a
problem if the xmm/ymm registers are manually saved and restored
(corrupting the extended state of those vector registers).
With this patch, there was no significant difference in the xor throughput
using AVX, measured during boot.
