[PATCH for-4.20 0/4] x86: FPU handling cleanup

[Alejandro Vallejo <alejandro.vallejo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to eventually reach a position in which the FPU state can be allocated
from the domheap and hidden via the same core mechanism proposed in Elias'
directmap removal series. Doing so is complicated by the presence of 2 aliased
pointers (v->arch.fpu_ctxt and v->arch.xsave_area) and the rather complicated
semantics of vcpu_setup_fpu(). This series tries to simplify the code so moving
to a "map/modify/unmap" model is more tractable.

Patches 1 and 2 are trivial refactors.

Patch 3 unifies FPU state so an XSAVE area is allocated per vCPU regardless of
the host supporting it or not. The rationale is that the memory savings are
negligible and not worth the extra complexity.

Patch 4 is a non-trivial split of the vcpu_setup_fpu() into 2 separate
functions. One to override x87/SSE state, and another to set a reset state.

Alejandro Vallejo (4):
  x86/xstate: Use compression check helper in xstate_all()
  x86/fpu: Create a typedef for the x87/SSE area inside "struct
    xsave_struct"
  x86/fpu: Combine fpu_ctxt and xsave_area in arch_vcpu
  x86/fpu: Split fpu_setup_fpu() in two
