OK. So if bit 2 of IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR, we must save that fields. But
if it's off, how to test for that other condition "last non-transparent
FP instruction ... had an unmasked exception" from the host?


We save fopcode unconditionally. But if IA32_MISC_ENABLE_MSR[2]=0, then fopcode will be zero, and we can skip the subsection (if the data and instruction pointers are also zero, which they will be).

If it isn't zero, there's still a good chance fopcode will be zero (64-bit userspace, thread that hasn't used the fpu since the last context switch, last opcode happened to be zero).
