Subject[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: Skip zeroing of MPX state on reset event
Date
Don't bother zeroing out MPX state in the guest's FPU on a reset event,
the guest's FPU is always zero allocated and there is no path between
kvm_arch_vcpu_create() and kvm_arch_vcpu_setup() that can lead to guest
MPX state being modified.

No functional change intended.
