In the #NM handler, KVM allocates the buffer and the guest_fpu XFD
becomes zero. Also because the guest_fpu XFD is zero:
- #NM vmexits are disabled. More precisely, trapping #NM is only
necessary if guest_fpu->xfd & ~vcpu->arch.xfd & vcpu->arch.xcr0 is
nonzero (i.e. only if there is a state that is guest_fpu-disabled, but
enabled according to both XFD and XCR0).
- On the next vmentry XFD is set to just vcpu->arch.xfd and the
instruction is retried. If the instruction causes an #NM in the guest,
it is not trapped and delivered normally to the guest.

The guest might run with the same XFD value as before (which is
guest_fpu->xfd | vcpu->arch.xfd), but vcpu->arch.xfd is changed. The
value in vcpu->arch.xfd will be read back by an RDMSR, because
passthrough is not enabled and the RDMSR will cause a vmexit.
Once an #NM is received and guest_fpu->xfd becomes zero, passthrough can
be enabled.
