These FPU states are properly maintained by KVM but not yet by TCG. So
far we unconditionally set them to 0 in the guest which may cause
state corruptions - not only during migration.


-#define CPU_SAVE_VERSION 12
+#define CPU_SAVE_VERSION 13


Incrementing the version number seems excessive - I can't imagine a real-life guest will break due to fp pointer corruption

However, I don't think we have a mechanism for optional state. We discussed this during the 18th VMState Subsection Symposium and IIRC agreed to re-raise the issue when we encountered it, which appears to be now.
