Note that I can still be convinced about complicating the FPU state machine as 
well if that ends up being the best approach for KVM - but it appears to me (from 
a very superficial look) that turning vCPU threads into no-FPU kthreads or 
representing the guest FPU state directly with the host FPU context would be even 
more beneficial, from the simplicity and KVM performance POV?

Absolutely, and your efforts are much appreciated! This ptrace state handling 
madness that bit you on SkyLake was something I missed entirely.

Thanks,
