Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/cpu changes for v4.4
Linus,
Please pull the latest x86-cpu-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-cpu-for-linus
# HEAD: 2167ceabf34163727ca4e283c0f030e3960932e5 x86/cpu: Add CLZERO detection
Two changes in this cycle: a Kconfig help text enhancement, and an AMD CLZERO
instruction capability detection and enumeration.
Thanks,
Ingo
