Should patch 2 be posted separately?

Because current tip/master branch has:

	gfpu->xfeatures		= fpu_user_cfg.default_features;
	gfpu->perm		= fpu_user_cfg.default_features;

Adjusting only fpu_guest->features raises the question: why isn't gfpu->perm
adjusted as well?

If patch 2 should go first, I don't think it's necessary to post patches 2-3
separately as maintainers can easily pick up patches 1-3 when they are in good
shape.

Regarding the changelog, I am uncertain what's quite different in the context.
It seems both you and I are talking about the inconsistency between
gfpu->xfeatures and fpstate->xfeatures. Did I miss something obvious?
