Subject: [PATCH] x86: Remove CONFIG_X86_OOSTORE
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:32:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140310233222.GA1798@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <531E43B8.7090302@zytor.com>

This was an optimization that made memcpy type benchmarks a little faster
on ancient (Circa 1998) IDT Winchip CPUs.  In real-life workloads, it
wasn't even noticable, and I doubt anyone is running benchmarks on 16 year old
silicon any more.

Given this code has likely seen very little use over the last decade, let's just remove it.
