Why would KVM_GET_XSAVE2 still be needed in this case?

I'm thinking it would also be possible to reuse KVM_GET_XSAVE:

- If userspace calls to KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2),
 then KVM knows that the userspace is a new version and it works with larger xsave buffer using the "size" that it returns via KVM_CAP_XSAVE2.
 So we can add a flag "kvm->xsave2_enabled", which gets set upon userspace checks KVM_CAP_XSAVE2.

- On KVM_GET_XSAVE, if "kvm->xsave2_enabled" is set,
 then KVM allocates buffer to load xstates and copies the loaded xstates data to the userspace buffer
 using the "size" that was returned to userspace on KVM_CAP_XSAVE2.
 If "kvm->xsave2_enabled" isn't set, using the legacy "4KB" size.

Thanks,
Wei
