Subject: [PATCH 3/7] x86/mm: Make use_/unuse_temporary_mm() non-static
Date: Wed,  2 Apr 2025 11:45:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250402094540.3586683-4-mingo@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250402094540.3586683-1-mingo@kernel.org>

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

This prepares them for use outside of the alternative machinery.
The code is unchanged.
