 /*
  * Were we in an interrupt that interrupted kernel mode?
  *
- * For now, with eagerfpu we will return interrupted kernel FPU
- * state as not-idle. TBD: Ideally we can change the return value
- * to something like __thread_has_fpu(current). But we need to
- * be careful of doing __thread_clear_has_fpu() before saving
- * the FPU etc for supporting nested uses etc. For now, take
- * the simple route!
- *
  * On others, we can do a kernel_fpu_begin/end() pair *ONLY* if that
  * pair does nothing at all: the thread must not have fpu (so
  * that we don't try to save the FPU state), and TS must
  * be set (so that the clts/stts pair does nothing that is
  * visible in the interrupted kernel thread).
+ *
+ * Except for the eagerfpu case when we return 1 unless we've already
+ * been eager and saved the state in kernel_fpu_begin().
