fx_state must be 16 byte aligned and x86 ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is 8, so
this needs manual correction.

Also, please kmalloc also fxregs_state in fxrstor_fixup and em_fxsave so
we again have only one storage type.

The caller does not understand -ENOMEM.  The appropriate return value is
X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE.

Ah, fxrstor_fixup most likely got inlined and both of them put ~512 byte
fxregs_state on the stack ... noinline attribute should solve the
warning too.

Thanks.
