Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86: add context tag to mark mm when running a task in 32-bit compatibility mode

This tag is intended to mirror the thread info TIF_IA32 flag.  Will be used to
identify mm's which support 32 bit tasks running in compatibility mode without
requiring a reference to the task itself.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Wilson <wilsons@...rt.ca>
