Sorry, I don't get clear your attitude.
Do you mean the generic common function is not so better that I'd better
to implement the percpu solution?

I wanted some time to give further thought to the percpu user_fpu idea.
  But kvm_load_guest_fpu and kvm_put_guest_fpu are not part of vcpu_load,
so it would not be so easy.  I'll just apply your patch now.

Got it, thanks.

BTW, could you have a look at the series I sent yesterday to refactor the vcpu creation flow, which is inspired partly by this issue. Any comment and suggestion is welcomed since I don't want to waste time on wrong direction.
