[PATCH v2 5/9] x86/traps: Remove lazy FPU support
Posted by Ross Lagerwall 1 week, 4 days ago
From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>

Remove lazy FPU support from the #NM exception handler used by PV
guests since fully_eager_fpu is now always true.

In v2:
* Tweaked the commit message
* Crash the guest rather than host if the guest register is in an
  unexpected state.
* Reword a comment
* Allow tail-call optimization
