Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/5] ftrace: to kill a daemon

Are we sure there aren't some good available 5-byte nops?

e.g. for 64-bit maybe 3e 48 8d 76 00
     for 32-bit maybe 3e 8d 74 26 00

Have the chip folks confirmed that exactly the set we have in
asm-x86/nops.h are the only optimal ones?


Thanks,
Roland
