+ * If the child has used the FPU before then unlazy it.
+ *
+ * [ After this function call, after the context is modified and
+ *   the child task is woken up, the child task will restore
+ *   the modified FPU state from the modified context. If we
+ *   didn't clear its lazy status here then the lazy in-registers
+ *   state pending on its former CPU could be restored, losing
+ *   the modifications. ]
+ *
+ * This function is also called before we read a stopped child's
+ * FPU state - to make sure it's modified.
+ *
+ * TODO: A future optimization would be to skip the unlazying in
+ *       the read-only case, it's not strictly necessary for
+ *       read-only access to the context.
