Suresh Siddha bdd8caba5e x86, xsave: struct _fpstate extensions to include extended state information ...

Bytes 464..511 in the current 512byte layout of fxsave/fxrstor
frame, are reserved for SW usage. On cpu's supporting xsave/xrstor, these bytes
are used to extended the fpstate pointer in the sigcontext, which now includes
the extended state information along with fpstate information.
