Subject: [PATCH 1/4] x86, head_32: Remove i386 pieces
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:22:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360592538-10643-2-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360592538-10643-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.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.
