Pull x86/xsave changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a patchset to support the XSAVES instruction required to
  support context switch of supervisor-only features in upcoming
  silicon.

  This patchset missed the 3.16 merge window, which is why it is based
  on 3.15-rc7"

* 'x86-xsave-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

  x86/xsaves: Save xstate to task's xsave area in __save_fpu during booting time
  x86/xsaves: Add xsaves and xrstors support for booting time
  x86/xsaves: Clear reserved bits in xsave header
  x86/xsaves: Use xsave/xrstor for saving and restoring user space context

and restore using xsave. The kernel will fallback to
enabling legacy floating-point and sse state.
noxsaveopt [X86] Disables xsaveopt used in saving x86 extended
register states. The kernel will fall back to use
xsave to save the states. By using this parameter,
performance of saving the states is degraded because
xsave doesn't support modified optimization while
xsaveopt supports it on xsaveopt enabled systems.
noxsaves [X86] Disables xsaves and xrstors used in saving and
restoring x86 extended register state in compacted
form of xsave area. The kernel will fall back to use
xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restore the states
in standard form of xsave area. By using this
parameter, xsave area per process might occupy more
memory on xsaves enabled systems.
