Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86, head_32: Remove second CPUID detection from default_entry
Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2013 20:52:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360439574-16122-4-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360439574-16122-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
We do that once earlier now and cache it into new_cpu_data.cpuid_level
so no need for the EFLAGS.ID toggling dance anymore.
