Internal errors were reported on 16 bit fxsave and fxrstor with ipxe.
Old Intels don't have unrestricted_guest, so we have to emulate them.
The patch takes advantage of the hardware implementation.
AMD and Intel differ in saving and restoring other fields in first 32
bytes. A test wrote 0xff to the fxsave area, 0 to upper bits of MCSXR
in the fxsave area, executed fxrstor, rewrote the fxsave area to 0xee,
and executed fxsave:
Intel (Nehalem):
7f 1f 7f 7f ff 00 ff 07 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 00
ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 00 ff ff 00 00 ff ff 00 00
Intel (Haswell -- deprecated FPU CS and FPU DS):
7f 1f 7f 7f ff 00 ff 07 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00
ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 ff ff 00 00 ff ff 00 00
AMD (Opteron 2300-series):
7f 1f 7f 7f ff 00 ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee
ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ff ff 00 00 ff ff 02 00
fxsave/fxrstor will only be emulated on early Intels, so KVM can't do
much to improve the situation.
