Allow FP and SSE state to be saved and restored via KVM_{G,SET}_XSAVE on
XSAVE-capable hosts even if their bits are not exposed to the guest via
XCR0.
Failing to allow FP+SSE first showed up as a QEMU live migration failure,
where migrating a VM from a pre-XSAVE host, e.g. Nehalem, to an XSAVE
host failed due to KVM rejecting KVM_SET_XSAVE. However, the bug also
causes problems even when migrating between XSAVE-capable hosts as
KVM_GET_SAVE won't set any bits in user_xfeatures if XSAVE isn't exposed
to the guest, i.e. KVM will fail to actually migrate FP+SSE.
Because KVM_{G,S}ET_XSAVE are designed to allowing migrating between
hosts with and without XSAVE, KVM_GET_XSAVE on a non-XSAVE (by way of
fpu_copy_guest_fpstate_to_uabi()) always sets the FP+SSE bits in the
header so that KVM_SET_XSAVE will work even if the new host supports
XSAVE.

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.
