Previously, x86's instantiation of 'struct kvm_vcpu_arch' added an fpu field to save/restore fpu-related architectural state, which will differ from kvm's fpu state. However, this is redundant to the 'struct fpu' field, called fpu, embedded in the task struct, via the thread field. Thus, this patch removes the user_fpu field from the kvm_vcpu_arch struct and replaces it with the task struct's fpu field. This change is significant because the fpu struct is actually quite large. For example, on the system used to develop this patch, this change reduces the size of the vcpu_vmx struct from 23680 bytes down to 19520 bytes, when building the kernel with kvmconfig. This reduction in the size of the vcpu_vmx struct moves us closer to being able to allocate the struct at order 2, rather than order 3.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
