Subject: [patch V3 18/20] x86/iopl: Remove legacy IOPL option
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
The IOPL emulation via the I/O bitmap is sufficient. Remove the legacy
cruft dealing with the (e)flags based IOPL mechanism.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
Reviewed-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com> (Paravirt and Xen parts)
Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

V3: Simplified config option (removed the choice)
V2: Adapted to changes in the previous patches.
