Hi -
I am working on cleaning up include/asm-x86/desc_defs.h specifically
replacing the fields a,b with more descriptive fields and including some
other cleanups for using idts. I have some changes locally but as I was
working on this I found that I had to make some changes to
kernel/apm32.c kernel/cpu/common.c vmi and lguest (they all used the ->a
and ->b fields directly).
There are probably more things in the kernel that depend on x86 and
might break with my change. Is there some config flag I can flip to
build all x86 related things? I tried a few patterns with grep, but I
just want to make sure I don't break anyone's stuff.
Thanks,
Joe
