So this CPU supports XSAVEC and XSAVES which means the kernel uses
XSAVES as the kernel before that.

This is correct. Is there any difference on a 5.18 kernel or on 5.19-rc
with the commit reverted? I doubt that.

I'm completely puzzled and stared at the commit in question on and off,
but I can't spot the fail.

It might use a different crypto algorithm.

Still confused....

I'll have another look tomorrow morning with brain awake.
