Perhaps I can think of something like this for AMX state:

diff --git a/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/prctl.h
b/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/prctl.h
index 500b96e71f18..08b6c9155b8a 100644
--- a/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/prctl.h
+++ b/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/prctl.h
@@ -16,6 +16,9 @@
#define ARCH_GET_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM 0x1024
#define ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM 0x1025

+#define ARCH_XCOMP_XTILECFG 17
+#define ARCH_XCOMP_XTILEDATA 18
+
#define ARCH_MAP_VDSO_X32 0x2001
#define ARCH_MAP_VDSO_32 0x2002
#define ARCH_MAP_VDSO_64 0x2003
But these state components are architectural. While this can help
userspace anyway, saying "XSTATE component" here and on the man-page is
probably it as they are already defined in the x86 spec.

Thanks,
Chang
