Subject: [PATCH] x86: Rename stack_pointer to kernel_trap_sp
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2008 20:28:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1200630529.5724.116.camel@brick> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <47901E89.4060001@zytor.com>

Choose a less generic name for such a special case.  Add
a comment explaining the odd use in X86_32.

Change the one user of stack_pointer.
