Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/5] ptrace: remove incorrect unlikelys

This is mislabeled, really.  This is "x86: syscall-audit", not ptrace.

I think this one also warrants moving the if inside a generic (non-arch)
inline.  The choice about unlikely() is not arch-specific, nor (AFIAK) is
the logic of the if.


Thanks,
Roland
