Hello,
I was wondering if 29.3.2
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/arch/x86/x86_64/5level-paging.html#enabling-5-level-paging)
should remain in the documentation, considering that from 21st of June
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240621164406.256314-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com/),
the config flag was removed, and unconditional 5 level paging support
was put in (https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Unconditional-5-Level-x86).
First post, followed the FAQ, guides, please lmk if any improvements
to communication can be made. Additionally couldn't find in the
MAINTAINERS file, the maintainer for 5level_paging.rst, so directed
here.
Thanks,

Except the patchset was never applied. So there no need in updating the
documentation.
