Aha, those are *reserved* bits - not unused, in XCR0.

Do an s/unused/reserved/g pls.

Now let's see, you have 0 for the 10th bit which happens to be

#define X86_FEATURE_FPU                 ( 0*32+ 0) /* Onboard FPU */

too. And if we look at the code:

        for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(xsave_cpuid_features); i++) {
                if (!boot_cpu_has(xsave_cpuid_features[i]))
                        xfeatures_mask_all &= ~BIT_ULL(i);

guess what happens if i == 10.

I know, the subsequent & SUPPORTED_XFEATURES_MASK saves you from the
#GP but that's still not good enough. The loop should not even call
boot_cpu_has() for reserved feature bits.

Thx.
