Subject: [patch 00/31] x86/fpu: Preparatory cleanups for AMX support (part 1)

The recent attempts to support the new AMX feature just tried to bolt it
into the exisiting FPU code:

     https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211001223728.9309-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com

As demonstrated with the supervisor bits, that's not really sensible and
leads to similar issues.

I've worked with Chang and Dave in the past few days on sorting this
out. Many thanks for their effort and support!

This series is a renewed effort to make this more palatable. It's the first
part of a 4 part submission which work towards a clean AMX integration into
the FPU code:

  1) Cleans up existing mess. Historical leftovers, shortcomings and
     especially the universal kitchen sink asm/fpu/internal.h which is
     included all over the place for the wrong reasons.

     This series has a value independent of AMX, but allows to make the
     integration and conversion to the new world order of dynamically
     enabled feature bits simpler.

  2) Introduces a container for the actual register storage which carries
     information about the kernel and user space features and sizes
     supported by it to easy the integration of dynamically enabled feature
     and the resulting different buffer sizes.

  3) Replaces a ton of state variables by introducing structures which
     carry that information

  4) The actual AMX and dynamic feature enable bits which have been
     significantly reworked on top of #1 - #3 and to address shortcomings
     of the previous submissions.

The current series (#1) is based on:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86/fpu

and also available from git:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git x86/fpu-1

The full series which has #1-#4 included can be found at:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git x86/fpu

Thanks,

	tglx
