Yesterday tglx proposed the *save*_to_{user,kernel}() and
*rstor*_from_{user,kernel}() namespace for pretty much every other such
function.

And while I agree that independent_supervisor beats dynamic_supervisor
for a name, they're both stupid long :-(

I don't suppose we can simply use xsaves_to_kernel()
xstrors_from_kernel() and add some magic to their respective mask
handling to ensure that a mask belongs to only 1 (of 3) types.

	int types = 0;

	if (mask & xfeatures_mask_user())
		type++;
	if (mask & xfeatures_mask_supervisor())
		types++;
	if (mask & xfeatures_mask_independent())
		types++;

	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(type != 1))
		return;
