The idea before commit 240c35a37 (which has just been reverted)
was that we have the following FPU states:
userspace (QEMU) guest
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
processor vcpu->arch.guest_fpu
>>> KVM_RUN: kvm_load_guest_fpu
vcpu->arch.user_fpu processor
>>> preempt out
vcpu->arch.user_fpu current->thread.fpu
>>> preempt in
vcpu->arch.user_fpu processor
>>> back to userspace
>>> kvm_put_guest_fpu
processor vcpu->arch.guest_fpu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the new lazy model we want to get the state back to the processor
when schedule in from current->thread.fpu.

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.
