Backport of #66120
Port of a fix for #65292 and issues found along the way related to AVX registers and EE suspension.
Customer Impact
It is relatively easy to end up running AVX-accelerated code nowdays. Copying or comparing arrays or spans, using buffered IO are just some examples.
Issues with storing/restoring AVX context during EE suspension could result in:
Testing
Regular test passes.
Risk
Medium.
The code involved is fairly old. We keep discovering assumptions that may no longer hold. We have seen cases where fixing one bug exposes another. To our knowledge these fixes are robust, but this is a delicate area.
