+        #define ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP  0x1021
+
+        #define XFEATURE_XTILECFG    17
+        #define XFEATURE_XTILEDATA   18

What's the long-term plan for these #defines?  I see that ARCH_GET_XCOMP_SUPP
is in arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/prctl.h ... so eventually that will show up in distribution
/usr/include/asm/prctl.h courtesy of a glibc update.

But the XFEATURE bits aren't in a "uapi" file. They are an "enum" in:

arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/types.h

How will that get to /usr/include?
