Subject[PATCH 075/208] x86/fpu: Remove xsave_init() __init obfuscation
Date
So this code surprised me - and being surprised when reading FPU code
does not help maintainability of an already overly complex subsystem.

Remove the obfuscation and just don't use __init annotation for now.
Anyone who wants to free these ~600 bytes of xstate_enable_boot_cpu()
should implement it cleanly.
