Why do you need this wrapper at all?

I think passing the src here doesn't make much sense. Copying
the fpu context structure should be done by the arch dup_task_struct
hook. Now if you free the fpu context in free_thread_info that means
you don't have to have your own arch-specific task_struct allocator
which would be a _lot_ cleaner. Talking about clean I think
the .cntxt field really wants a more descriptive name :)
