I think there are 12 files that can be directly impacted by XSAVES. 

	arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h
	arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/types.h
	arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/xstate.h
	arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/sigcontext.h
	arch/x86/kernel/traps.c
	arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c
	arch/x86/kernel/fpu/init.c
	arch/x86/kernel/fpu/regset.c
	arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c
	arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c
	arch/x86/kvm/x86.c
	arch/x86/mm/mpx.c

They have been reviewed from the perspective of the compacted format.
Please let me know anything else.
