The get_xsave_addr() API is horrible, and we already have one
egregiously buggy instance in the kernel.  Let's not add another
dubious use case.

If state == NULL, this means that CET_USER is in its init state.
CET_USER in the init state should behave identically regardless of
whether XINUSE[CET_USER] is set.  Can you please adjust this code
accordingly?


I will work on that.

Thanks,
Yu-cheng
