Subject: [PATCH 0/5] [GIT PULL][v3.2] x86: Consolidate 32 and 64 bit thread_info


Thomas, Ingo, and Peter(s),

On IRC, Peter Zijlstra mentioned to me the difference between
32bit and 64bit x86 on how thread_info is handled with interrupts.
I mentioned that they should be more the same, and Peter agreed.

I decided to do so, and ended up with the following patches.
I marked this for v3.2 as it should be tested a bit before going into
mainline. I've ran several configs on it, but more testing should be done.

Some of the patches are clean ups, but the main ones are patch 3 and 4
that do the work to convert 32bit of thread_info to be more like
the 64bit.

Steven Rostedt (5):
      x86: Do not differentiate between x86_64 and i386 with init_per_cpu
      x86: Nuke the supervisor_stack field in i386 thread_info
      x86: Remove previous_esp from i386 thread_info structure
      x86: Keep thread_info on thread stack in x86_32
      x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code
