[PATCH 8/9] x86, xsave: add support for non-lazy xstates

[Hans Rosenfeld]

Non-lazy xstates are, as the name suggests, extended states that cannot
be saved or restored lazily. The state for AMDs LWP feature is a
non-lazy state.

This patch adds support for this kind of xstates. If any such states are
present and supported on the running system, they will always be enabled
in xstate_mask so that they are always restored in switch_to.
