Sorry for the back-and-forth, but I think this and the removal of
XSTATE_FLEXIBLE (perhaps XSTATE_LAZY?) makes your v2 worse than v1.
Since Peter already said the same, please undo these changes.
Also, how is XSTATE_EAGER used? Should MPX be disabled when xsaveopt is
disabled on the kernel command line? (Liu, how would this affect the
KVM patches, too?)
