What kind of fix do I need the in the kernel? I see this: 255 xen_cpuid(&ax, &bx, &cx, &dx); 256 257 xsave_mask = 258 (1 << (X86_FEATURE_XSAVE % 32)) | 259 (1 << (X86_FEATURE_OSXSAVE % 32)); 260 261 /* Xen will set CR4.OSXSAVE if supported and not disabled by force */ 262 if ((cx & xsave_mask) != xsave_mask) 263 cpuid_leaf1_ecx_mask &= ~xsave_mask; /* disable XSAVE & OSXSAVE */ 264 } But do I need some other one?
