Subject: [PATCH 3.2 22/62] x86, extable: Remove open-coded exception table
 entries in arch/x86/lib/copy_user_nocache_64.S

3.2.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>

commit 0d8559feafbc9dc5a2c17ba42aea7de824b18308 upstream.

Remove open-coded exception table entries in arch/x86/lib/copy_user_nocache_64.S,
and replace them with _ASM_EXTABLE() macros; this will allow us to
change the format and type of the exception table entries.
