The C code that follows:
...
old_val = fxsr.buff[50];
fxsr.buff[50] ^= 0x0013c0de;
...
fxsr.buff[50] = old_val;
...
new_val = fxsr.buff[50];
fxsr.buff[50] = old_val;
...
uses only fxsr.buff[50], so IMHO it's enough to initialize only the value
of this element.

It won't hurt but probably superfluous.
