[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] libxc: create an initial FPU state for HVM guests

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Xen always set the FPU as initialized when loading a HVM context, so libxc
has to provide a valid FPU context when setting the CPU registers.

This is a stop-gap measure in order to unblock OSSTest Windows 7 failures
while a proper fix for the HVM CPU save/restore is being worked on.

Changes since v1:
 - Add a comment to clarify that the layout of the FPU context structure is
   the same for both 32 and 64bits.
 - Add Jan Beulich Suggested-by.
 - Add Andrew Cooper Reviewed-by.
