Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] x86: remove X86_FEATURE_XENPV usage in setup_cpu_entry_area()
Date: Fri,  4 Nov 2022 08:27:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221104072701.20283-5-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221104072701.20283-1-jgross@suse.com>

Testing of X86_FEATURE_XENPV in setup_cpu_entry_area() can be removed,
as this code path is 32-bit only, and Xen PV guests are not supporting
32-bit mode.
