Subject[PATCH 4/4] x86/fpu/xstate: Re-enable XSAVES
Date
From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@intel.com>

We did not handle XSAVES instructions correctly. There were issues in
converting between standard and compacted format when interfacing with
user-space. These issues have been corrected.

Add a WARN_ONCE() to make it clear that XSAVES supervisor states are not
yet implemented.
