Xen 4.0.x, 4.1.x, and 4.2.x, when running on AMD64 processors, only
save/restore the FOP, FIP, and FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE/FXRSTOR when an
exception is pending, which allows one domain to determine portions of the
state of floating point instructions of other domains, which can be
leveraged to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, a
similar vulnerability to CVE-2006-1056. NOTE: this is the documented
behavior of AMD64 processors, but it is inconsistent with Intel processors
in a security-relevant fashion that was not addressed by the kernels.
