Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/entry for v2.6.33
Linus,
Please pull the latest x86-entry-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git x86-entry-for-linus
This new user-return-facility facility we guest-maintained in the x86
tree hierarchy for the fine KVM folks, who are making use of it in the
KVM devel tree. KVM uses it for an optimization to allow fast/lazy
context switches to kernel-mode-only tasks without having to switch
expensive user state.
out-of-topic modifications in x86-entry-for-linus:
