x86/fpu: Provide infrastructure for KVM FPU cleanup
For the upcoming AMX support it's necessary to do a proper integration with KVM. Currently KVM allocates two FPU structs which are used for saving the user state of the vCPU thread and restoring the guest state when entering vcpu_run() and doing the reverse operation before leaving vcpu_run(). With the new fpstate mechanism this can be reduced to one extra buffer by swapping the fpstate pointer in current::thread::fpu. This makes the upcoming support for AMX and XFD simpler because then fpstate information (features, sizes, xfd) are always consistent and it does not require any nasty workarounds. Provide: - An allocator which initializes the state properly - A replacement for the existing FPU swap mechanim Aside of the reduced memory footprint, this also makes state switching more efficient when TIF_FPU_NEED_LOAD is set. It does not require a memcpy as the state is already correct in the to be swapped out fpstate. The existing interfaces will be removed once KVM is converted over.
