Those are *not* supposed to be embedded in any other structures.  My bad
for not documenting this better.

It also seems really goofy that we need an xsave buffer in the
task_struct for user fpu state, then another in the vcpu.  Isn't one for
user state enough?

In any case, I'd suggest getting rid of 'user_fpu', then either moving
'guest_fpu' to the bottom of the structure, or just make it a 'struct
fpu *' and dynamically allocating it separately.

To do this, I'd take fpu__init_task_struct_size(), and break it apart a
bit to tell you the size of the 'struct fpu' separately from the size of
the 'task struct'.
