It was reported that qemu may not enable the XSTATE CPU extension, which is a requirement after commit3f17fed214("um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATE"). Add a fallback to use FXSAVE (FP registers on x86_64 and XFP on i386) which is just a shorter version of the same data. The only difference is that the XSTATE magic should not be set in the signal frame. Note that this still drops support for the older i386 FP register layout as supporting this would require more backward compatibility to build a correct signal frame.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
