Drop the funky SSE exception test on linux.

Replace the check for IN_DRI_DRIVER with the appropriate kernel version check
and just disable SSE on older (pre 2.4) kernels.

  * We must verify that the Streaming SIMD Extensions are truly supported

- * required to use SSE.  Unfortunately, we can't just go ahead and read

- * loop in the signal delivery from the kernel as we can't interact with
- * the SIMD FPU state to clear the exception bits.  Either way, this is
- * not good.
  *
  * However, I have been told by Alan Cox that all 2.4 (and later) Linux
  * kernels provide full SSE support on all processors that expose SSE via
