The intention is to have a single FPU format set at bootup and xcomp_bv is
essentially an invariant (constant) inherited by all tasks from early boot. In
that sense setting xsave.header.xcomp_bv in copyin_to_xsaves() is misplaced.
So I combined the two commits: I kept your original fix but applied Yu-cheng
Yu's
patch that moves the initialization from copyin_to_xsaves() to fpstate_init().
Thanks,
