SubjectRe: [PATCH 5/7] x86/fpu: Change fpu->fpregs_active users to fpu->fpstate_active

Note that I can still be convinced about complicating the FPU state machine as
well if that ends up being the best approach for KVM - but it appears to me (from
a very superficial look) that turning vCPU threads into no-FPU kthreads or
representing the guest FPU state directly with the host FPU context would be even
more beneficial, from the simplicity and KVM performance POV?

Absolutely, and your efforts are much appreciated! This ptrace state handling
madness that bit you on SkyLake was something I missed entirely.

Thanks,

Ingo
