Should this still be tested despite Wanpeng Li’s comments that the issue may
have been fixed in a 5.3 release candidate?
Yes.

The actual bug fix, commit e751732486eb3 (KVM: X86: Fix fpu state crash in
kvm guest), is present in v5.2.7.

Unless there's a subtlety I'm missing, commit d9a710e5fc4941 (KVM: X86:
Dynamically allocate user_fpu) is purely an optimization and should not
have a functional impact.
Any update on this?  Syzkaller also appears to be hitting this[*], but it
hasn't been able to generate a reproducer.

Still working on it. Not sure why but now my initrd images have quadrupled in size with the latest kernel, so I'm at an impasse and stuck at 5.2 until I can size up my /boot

Will try to fix this week.
