Expected format for the above is:

Commit 123456789abc ("text")

> unexpectedly removed the MSR_FE0 and MSR_FE1 bits from the bitmask used to
> update the MSR of the previous thread in __giveup_fpu() causing a KVM-PR MacOS
> guest to lockup and panic the kernel.
> 
> Reinstate these bits to the MSR bitmask to enable MacOS guests to run under
> 32-bit KVM-PR once again without issue.
