Impact: save/restore Intel-AVX state properly between tasks
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) introduce 256-bit vector processing
capability. More about AVX at http://software.intel.com/sites/avx
Add OS support for YMM state management using xsave/xrstor infrastructure
to support AVX.

Impact: cleanup, reduce kernel size a bit, avoid sparse warning

If a processor implementation discern that a processor state component is in
its initialized state, it may modify the corresponding bit in the
xsave header.xstate_bv as '0'. State in the memory layout setup by 'xsave'
will be consistent with the bit values in the header.
During signal handling, legacy applications may change the FP/SSE bits
in the sigcontext memory layout without touching the FP/SSE header bits
in the xsave header. So always set FP/SSE bits in the xsave header
while saving the sigcontext state to the user space. During signal return,
this will enable the kernel to capture any changes to the FP/SSE bits by the
legacy applications which don't touch xsave headers.
xsave aware apps can change the xstate_bv in the xsave header aswell
as change any contents in the memory layout. xrestor as part of sigreturn
will capture all the changes.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x22453): Section mismatch in reference from the function setup_xstate_init() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem()
The function setup_xstate_init() references the function __init __alloc_bootmem().
This is often because setup_xstate_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem is wrong.

fxsave/xsave instructions will not touch all the bytes in the
fxsave/xsave frame. Clear the user buffer before doing fxsave/xsave
directly to user buffer during the sigcontext setup.
This is essentially needed in the context of xsave(for example,
some of the fields in the xsave header are not touched by the xsave
and defined as must be zero).
This will also present uniform and clean context to the user (from
which user can safely do fxrstor/xrstor).

The XSAVE feature mask is a 64-bit number; keep it that way, in order
to avoid the mistake done with rdmsr/wrmsr. Use the xsetbv() function
provided in the previous patch.

On cpu's supporting xsave/xrstor, fpstate pointer in the sigcontext, will
include the extended state information along with fpstate information. Presence
of extended state information is indicated by the presence
of FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 at fpstate.sw_reserved.magic1 and FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2
at fpstate + (fpstate.sw_reserved.extended_size - FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2_SIZE).
Extended feature bit mask that is saved in the memory layout is represented
by the fpstate.sw_reserved.xstate_bv
For RT signal frames, UC_FP_XSTATE in the uc_flags also indicate the
presence of extended state information in the sigcontext's fpstate
pointer.

move 64bit routines that saves/restores fpstate in/from user stack from
signal_64.c to xsave.c
restore_i387_xstate() now handles the condition when user passes
NULL fpstate.

dynamically allocate fpstate on the stack, instead of static allocation
in the current sigframe layout on the user stack. This will allow the
fpstate structure to grow in the future, which includes extended state
information supporting xsave/xrstor.
signal handlers will be able to access the fpstate pointer from the
sigcontext structure asusual, with no change. For the non RT sigframe's
(which are supported only for 32bit apps), current static fpstate layout
in the sigframe will be unused(so that we don't change the extramask[]
offset in the sigframe and thus prevent breaking app's which modify
extramask[]).
