I just stumbled over this patch on some migration tests in the past few
days..

In short, I was migrating a VM from 5.15 host to 5.18 host and the guest
trigger double fault immediately after the switch-over (I think that's when
it's trying to do vmenter, a VECTOR_DF was injected), with either precopy
or postcopy.

After I upgrade 5.15 src host to 5.18 host, problem goes away. I did a
bisect on dest and surprisingly it points to this commit.

Side note: I'm using two hosts that have the same processor model, so no
case of missing features on either side - they just match.

I'm not really sure whether this is a bug or by design - do we require this
patch to be applied to all stable branches to make the guest not crash
after migration, or it is unexpected?

FWICT, this patch modifies user_xfeatures while we don't do that trick
before. It sounds reasonable to me from the 1st glance, say if the guest
didn't enable some of the fpu features so we don't need to migrate those
fpu state chunks as we're migrating things based on user_xfeatures, and it
sounds good to solve the migration issue on "has-pksu" host to "no-pksu"
host as described in the patch commit message.

However there seems to be something missing at least to me, on why it'll
fail a migration from 5.15 (without this patch) to 5.18 (with this patch).
In my test case, user_xfeatures will be 0x7 (FP|SSE|YMM) if without this
patch, but 0x0 if with it.

I think what it should be happening is user_xfeatures will be set on src
with 0x7 (old kernel), so we should have migrated some more chunks to dest,
but I just don't quickly understand why that's a problem there because
fundamentally when we restore the fpu status (fpu_swap_kvm_fpstate) we use
the max feature bitmask anyway, and the dest hardware should support all of
them.  I don't quickly see how that could trigger a double fault, though.

I'll continue the dig probably next week, before that, any thoughts?
