I'm guessing this and the struct lwp_struct above is being added so that
you can have the LWP XSAVE area size? If so, you don't need it: LWP
XSAVE area is 128 bytes at offset 832 according to my manuals so I'd
guess having a u8 lwp_area[128] should be fine.

What's the use of that macro if it is used only once?
