Currently, this enum is the same as XSAVE, but when we add other features, this

without disturbing the existing kernel code.
We will do that when we cross that bridge, right?

I am struggling to interpret.
If we can add a new enum only when we extend, then as Thomas suggested can we use other kernel variables as in the first version of the patch until we extend for other/new features?

thanks,
