Mailing List Archive: [PATCH] x86emul: increase FPU save area in test harness/fuzzer

Running them on a system (or emulator) with AMX support requires this
to be quite a bit larger than 8k, to avoid triggering the assert() in
emul_test_init(). Bump all the way up to 16k right away.

Intel's Software Development Emulator properly reports XSAVE-related AMX
CPUID data for Sapphire Rapids emulation as of 8.59.0.
