x86, xsave: Sync xsave memory layout with its header for user handling
With xsaveopt, if a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in its initialized state it may modify the corresponding bit in the xsave_hdr.xstate_bv as '0', with out modifying the corresponding memory layout. Hence wHile presenting the xstate information to the user, we always ensure that the memory layout of a feature will be in the init state if the corresponding header bit is zero. This ensures the consistency and avoids the condition of the user seeing some some stale state in the memory layout during signal handling, debugging etc. Signed-off-by:Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <20100719230205.351459480@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by:
