Tell me about it.

I also don't understand what the thought behind xstate_enable_boot_cpu()
and eager_fpu_init_bp() - we do call xstate_enable_boot_cpu() and alloc
init_xstate_buf and then when we come to
eager_fpu_init
|-> eager_fpu_init_bp
we get to init it if not initted yet.
When can that ever happen?
