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, though not with modern guests.

To avoid breaking backward migration, use a conditional subsection that
is only written if any of the three fields is non-zero. The guest's
FNINIT clears them frequently, and cleared IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR[2]
reduces the probability of non-zero values further so that this
subsection is not expected to restrict migration in any common scenario.

Thanks, applied to uq/master. A test migration showed that the subsection in fact did not show up.
