Hi all,

Changes from v1:
* patch3: revert the function name change and add a warning. Then update
  the changelog and title.

Thanks Sean Christopherson for the feedback.

== Regression ==

Recently the XSTATE copy functions were unitized together [2]. At a glance,
this change appears to relapse the ptrace write on the MXCSR state when
the non-compacted format is used in the kernel.

But, this regression appears to root in the XSAVES-enabling code [3] that
introduced the XSTATE conversion along with the MXCSR mistreatment.

== MXCSR Hindsight ==

MXCSR is architecturally part of the SSE component. The MXCSR association
of XSTATE_BV depends on the XSAVE format.

The change [3], however, presumed MXCSR as part of the X87 component and
made the kernel referencing XSTATE_BV regardless of the format.

== Patches ==

* Fix the MXCSR conversion code along with adding the test case.
* Then, fixing MXCSR, one of the other call sites is also updated to
  exclude legacy states.
* The hard-coded legacy state offset and size are adjusted in the end.

These patches can be also found in this repository:
  git://github.com/intel/amx-linux.git mxcsr

Thanks,
Chang
