Drop code to initialize XCR0 during fx_init(), a.k.a. vCPU creation, as XCR0 has been initialized during kvm_vcpu_reset() (for RESET) since commita554d207dc("KVM: X86: Processor States following Reset or INIT"). Back when XCR0 support was added by commit2acf923e38("KVM: VMX: Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guest"), KVM didn't differentiate between RESET and INIT. Ignoring the fact that calling fx_init() for INIT is obviously wrong, e.g. FPU state after INIT is not the same as after RESET, setting XCR0 in fx_init() was correct. Eventually fx_init() got moved to kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), a.k.a. vCPU creation (ignore the terrible name) by commit0ee6a51725("x86/fpu, kvm: Simplify fx_init()"). Finally, commit95a0d01eef("KVM: x86: Move all vcpu init code into kvm_arch_vcpu_create()") killed off kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), leaving behind the oddity of redundant setting of guest state during vCPU creation. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
