Message-Id: <1359908079-10469-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2013 17:14:35 +0100 From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de> To: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com> Cc: X86 ML <x86@...nel.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de> Subject: [PATCH 0/4] x86, head_32: Some cleanups From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de> Hi, here are some initial low-hanging fruits wrt head_32.S cleanup. I've made them as easily digestible as possible; after all, this is boot asm and meddling with it tends to upset kernels. Also, I've made the assumption that having boot_cpu_data.cpuid_level contain the CPUID level for the boot cpu means that the APs have the same CPUID level. This should be the case on X86. They boot fine 486 and 486SX in qemu but I'd like to hear whether the direction I'm going is ok before I continue testing them on real hardware. Thanks.
