We should do a clear cut and have legacy stuff which has its legacy
expectations on the XSTATE layout and not touch those at all.

And then all new apps which will use these new APIs can go and request
whatever fancy new state constellations we support. Including how they
want their signals handled, etc.

Fat states like avx512, amx etc will be off by default and apps
explicitly requesting those, can get them.

That's it.

Thx.
