Expand description

Performs a full or partial save of the enabled processor states to memory at `mem_addr`.

State is saved based on bits `[62:0]` in `save_mask` and `XCR0`. `mem_addr` must be aligned on a 64-byte boundary. The hardware may optimize the manner in which data is saved. The performance of this instruction will be equal to or better than using the `XSAVE` instruction.
