After reverting commit 240c35a3783a (kvm: x86: Use task structs fpu field for user), struct kvm_vcpu is 19456 bytes on my server, PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER(3) is the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service. In serveless scenario, one host can service hundreds/thoudands firecracker/kata-container instances, howerver, new instance will fail to launch after memory is too fragmented to allocate kvm_vcpu struct on host, this was observed in some cloud provider product environments. This patch dynamically allocates user_fpu, kvm_vcpu is 15168 bytes now on my Skylake server.

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.
