Avi/Gleb, do you remember any particular reason for this?
IIRC (vaguely) if we expect the fpu to be used in the near future, we
activate it eagerly so that we don't fault when it is used.
Prevents the sequence:
guest user: use fpu
#NM
host: reflect #NM to guest
guest kernel: CLTS
guest kernel: switch fpu state
#NM
host: switch fpu
guest kernel: switch fpu state (restarted)
guest user: use fpu (restarted)
Why was the user removed? Full-time eager fpu?
