xstate_bv is what it is called in the SDM.  I'd really like to see the
nomenclature match the SDM where it's sensible because it says lots of
things like:

	XSAVES does not write to any parts of the XSAVE header other
	than the XSTATE_BV and XCOMP_BV fields.

It's nice to have code that does:

	...->xstate_bv

to match up with that documentation IMNHO.
