Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] Documentation/x86: Update the dynamic XSTATE doc

Hi all,

A couple of changes from the last posting [1]:
* Trim the sentences in the AMX enabling example (Dave Hansen).
* Drop the description for the guest options as this change alone does not
  cover the practical (KVM) use case. Will follow up with a new series for
  this.

Sending this to the Intel reviewers again as one of their feedback was
just addressed.

=== Cover Letter ===

With the AMX support in the mainline, recently I heard some folks had a
hard time understanding the AMX enabling process. A code example is
expected to clarify the steps.

The arch_prctl(2) manual page [2] is missing these new options. Perhaps,
the man-page update follows up along with this.

These changes can be found in the repo:
  git://github.com/intel/amx-linux.git doc

And the compiled preview is available here:
  https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/intel/amx-linux/doc-web/x86/xstate.html

Thanks,
Chang
