    Subject[PATCH v5-fix 28/28] x86/fpu/amx: Clear the AMX state when appropriate
    Date
    When AMX is enabled, and an AMX-task is saved, explicitly initialize the
    AMX state after the XSAVE.

    This assures that the kernel will only request idle states with clean AMX
    state. In the case of the C6 idle state, this allows the hardware to get to
    a deeper power saving condition.
