The restore mask can be ~XFEATURE_MASK_PKRU in this case tool this way it's constant and you can drop the third argument to the function.

Also perhaps it could be useful to add an

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(cur_fps->is_guest == enter_guest))
return;

at the top of fpu_swap_kvm_fpstate, since the is_guest member (at least for now?) is only used for such kind of assertion.
