So I have no fundamental objections against this series - I didn't apply it back
in March because not all patches had your Reviewed-by tag. Basically after you
sorted out all the XSAVE dynamic feature detection/sizing issues I was a happy

Could you please send a refreshed version against the latestest tip:master?
