Subject[RFC 6/8] x86, xsave: add support for non-lazy xstates
Date
Non-lazy xstates are, as the name suggests,  extended states that cannot
be saved or restored lazily. The state for AMDs LWP feature is an
example of this.

This patch adds support for this kind of xstates. If any such states are
present and supported on the running system, they will always be enabled
in xstate_mask so that they are always restored in switch_to. Since lazy
allocation of the xstate area won't work when non-lazy xstates are used,
all tasks will always have a xstate area preallocated.
