That's kinda clear, right? Apparently, we do cache FPU attributes in
xstate.c so what is that comment actually trying to tell us? Or do you
want to add some sort of an assertion to this function in case it gets
called before setup_xstate_features()?

I think you should simply add kernel-doc style comment explaining what
the inputs are and what the function gives, which would be a lot more
useful.

Just get rid of the __ variant and have a single function with the
following signature:

	static unsigned int get_xstate_comp_offset(u64 mask, int feature_nr)
