Subject[PATCH v3 0/2] x86 FPU API
Date
Currently all fpu accessors are wedded to task_struct.  However kvm also uses
the fpu in a different context. Introduce an FPU API, and replace the
current uses with the new API.

While this patchset is oriented towards deeper changes, as a first step it
simlifies xsave for kvm.

v3:
use u8 instead of bool in asm to avoid bad code generation on older
gccs.

v2:
eliminate useless padding in use_xsave() by using a larger instruction

Avi Kivity (2):
x86: eliminate TS_XSAVE
x86: Introduce 'struct fpu' and related API
