    We should do a clear cut and have legacy stuff which has its legacy
    expectations on the XSTATE layout and not touch those at all.

    And then all new apps which will use these new APIs can go and request
    whatever fancy new state constellations we support. Including how they
    want their signals handled, etc.

    Fat states like avx512, amx etc will be off by default and apps
    explicitly requesting those, can get them.

    That's it.

    Thx.
