Hey Huaitong,

Hope you don't mind me giving you a little feedback on the way you've
broken down your patches here.  The purpose for breaking a change down
into separate patches like this is to make it easier for people
reviewing (and for people later who come and look at the commits) to
figure out what's going on.  But if you break the patch series down to
much, you go back to making things harder again.

Take this patch, for instance.  You're making get_xsave_addr() global
(non-static), and also making it handle the case where the xsave area
was compressed (which it didn't before).

But as a reviewer, I don't know at this point who is calling
get_xsave_addr() or why; I don't know if this change is necessary, or if
it is correct for all the callers (or if the change wrt compressed xsave
areas is even necessary).

So one problem with this patch is that you don't include that
information in the description.  But part of it is that the change
doesn't really make much sense by itself.

I think I'd squash patches 4-7 into a single patch.

More comments about the approach in patch 7.

 -George
