Message-Id: <1360439574-16122-2-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2013 20:52:50 +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 1/5] x86, head_32: Remove i386 pieces From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de> Remove code fragments detecting a 386 CPU since we don't support those anymore. Also, do not do alignment checks because they're done only at CPL3. Also, no need to preserve EFLAGS.
