Compared to the last version, I've:
(1) dropped the vmalloc patches
(2) updated the kmem cache for the guest_fpu field in the kvm_vcpu_arch
    struct to be sized according to fpu_kernel_xstate_size
(3) Added minimum FPU checks in KVM's x86 init logic to avoid memory
    corruption issues.

Marc Orr (2):
  kvm: x86: Use task structs fpu field for user
  kvm: x86: Dynamically allocate guest_fpu

There was a question about the usage of kmem_cache_create_usercopy, and 
a v7 was never sent.

So, that's what the series was trimmed down to. Thanks!

Did we still manage to get down to order 2?

Yep, almost made it to order-1!

Current size (without 8 bytes from CONFIG_HYPERV=y) is 9728.
