I.e. a better check would be to check that the whole header can be accessed:

state_size >= offsetof(struct xregs_state, header) + sizeof(struct xstate_header)

Not that there should ever be a 'state_size' that points inside the header - so in
the end I back-merged your original (and tested ...) version.

Thanks,
