Fields of anonymous structs/unions may not be part of an initializer for
rather old gcc.

Fixes: 49a068471d77 ("x86/fpu: Rework fpu_setup_fpu() uses to split it in two")

Can you add the specific version for tracking purposes?

That's not quite the same though. A more apt equivalence would be to memset the
area to zero ahead of the assignments. Otherwise rubble will be left behind.

Out of context and not triggering the GCC bug, but vcpu_setup_fpu() should
probably share the same initialization style as vcpu_reset_fpu(), imo.

It's all the same as before, and I really didn't want to waste time on
once again figuring out which exact version it was that the behavior
changed to the better.

No. I didn't delete the initializer. All fields not mentioned there will
be default-initialized.

Just checked on Godbolt. 4.7.1 works and 4.6.4 doesn't. Adding that data point
to the commit message really helps when navigating git-blame, even if it's not
as precise as it could be. Particularly if one wants to understand exactly
which quirk of which version of which compiler is being dealt with.

Right. I misread the diff and thought you had nuked the initializer. That's
indeed all fine. Which means...

... there's indeed no reason to touch that.

With the commit message adjusted with the offending GCC version (i.e: <4.7.1):

Well, thanks for sorting that out. I've added that info.

Thanks here as well. Any chance though you would be willing to upgrade that
to R-b? Only that would allow me to put in the patch without waiting for yet
another tag.
