Comments
State saved with FXSAVE and restored with FRSTOR, and state saved with FSAVE and restored
with FXRSTOR, will result in incorrect restoration of state in the processor. The address size
prefix will have the usual effect on address calculation, but will have no effect on the format of
the FXSAVE image.
The use of Repeat (F2H, F3H) and Operand-size (66H) prefixes with FXSAVE is reserved.
Different processor implementations may handle these prefixes differently. Usage of these
prefixes with FXSAVE risks incompatibility with future processors.
