This is an RFC patchset v3:
sysret_rip test update for Intel FRED architecture.
Xin Li reported sysret_rip test fails at:
assert(ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EFL] ==
ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_R11]);
in a FRED system. Let's handle the FRED system scenario too. The
'syscall' instruction in a FRED system doesn't set %r11=%rflags.
There are two patches in this series.
How to test this:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/x86
$ tools/testing/selftests/x86/sysret_rip_64

## Changelog v3:
- Test that we don't get a mix of REGS_SAVED and REGS_SYSRET,
which is a major part of the point (hpa).
## Changelog v2:
- Use "+r"(rsp) as the right way to avoid redzone problems
per Andrew's comment (hpa).
