One nit with this: XRSTOR itself can work with the compacted format or uncompacted format. Unlike the XSAVE/XSAVEC side where compaction is explicit from the instruction itself, XRSTOR changes its behavior by reading XCOMP_BV. There's no XRSTORC. The issue with using the compacted format is when legacy software in the signal handler needs to go access the state. *That* is what can't handle a change in the XSAVE buffer format (either optimized/XSAVEOPT, or compacted/XSAVEC).
