We might get that from an eventual use of xfeature_uncompacted_offset(), but we need something that's very clear. I just don't want somebody coming along and shoving a supervisor state in to XCR0 and expecting it to work just because we have XSAVES support itself. That might happen in-tree or out-of-tree as things get prototyped.
