/*
+ * In order to reduce the number of times the FPSIMD state is needlessly saved
+ * and restored, we need to keep track of two things:
+ * (a) for each task, we need to remember which CPU was the last one to have
+ * the task's FPSIMD state loaded into its FPSIMD registers;
+ * (b) for each CPU, we need to remember which task's userland FPSIMD state has
+ * been loaded into its FPSIMD registers most recently, or whether it has
+ * been used to perform kernel mode NEON in the meantime.
+ *
+ * For (a), we add a 'cpu' field to struct fpsimd_state, which gets updated to
+ * the id of the current CPU everytime the state is loaded onto a CPU. For (b),
+ * we add the per-cpu variable 'fpsimd_last_state' (below), which contains the
+ * address of the userland FPSIMD state of the task that was loaded onto the CPU
+ * the most recently, or NULL if kernel mode NEON has been performed after that.
+ *
+ * With this in place, we no longer have to restore the next FPSIMD state right
+ * when switching between tasks. Instead, we can defer this check to userland
+ * resume, at which time we verify whether the CPU's fpsimd_last_state and the
+ * task's fpsimd_state.cpu are still mutually in sync. If this is the case, we
+ * can omit the FPSIMD restore.
+ *
+ * As an optimization, we use the thread_info flag TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE to
+ * indicate whether or not the userland FPSIMD state of the current task is
+ * present in the registers. The flag is set unless the FPSIMD registers of this
+ * CPU currently contain the most recent userland FPSIMD state of the current
+ * task.
+ *
+ * For a certain task, the sequence may look something like this:
+ * - the task gets scheduled in; if both the task's fpsimd_state.cpu field
+ * contains the id of the current CPU, and the CPU's fpsimd_last_state per-cpu
+ * variable points to the task's fpsimd_state, the TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag is
+ * cleared, otherwise it is set;
+ *
+ * - the task returns to userland; if TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set, the task's
+ * userland FPSIMD state is copied from memory to the registers, the task's
+ * fpsimd_state.cpu field is set to the id of the current CPU, the current
+ * CPU's fpsimd_last_state pointer is set to this task's fpsimd_state and the
+ * TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag is cleared;
+ *
+ * - the task executes an ordinary syscall; upon return to userland, the
+ * TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag will still be cleared, so no FPSIMD state is
+ * restored;
+ *
+ * - the task executes a syscall which executes some NEON instructions; this is
+ * preceded by a call to kernel_neon_begin(), which copies the task's FPSIMD
+ * register contents to memory, clears the fpsimd_last_state per-cpu variable
+ * and sets the TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE flag;
+ *
+ * - the task gets preempted after kernel_neon_end() is called; as we have not
+ * returned from the 2nd syscall yet, TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is still set so
+ * whatever is in the FPSIMD registers is not saved to memory, but discarded.
