So I was playing with gdb today and did this simple thing:

gdb /bin/ls

...

(gdb) run

Box exploded with the splat at the end because we do cache
&target->thread.fpu.state->xsave into the local variable xsave but
that pointer is NULL at that time and it gets initialized later, in
init_fpu(), see

	e7f180dcd8ab ("x86/fpu: Change xstateregs_get()/set() to use
		      ->xsave.i387 rather than ->fxsave")

Fix is simple: load xsave *after* init_fpu() has run.
