Subject: [PATCH 1/2] treewide: Add a flag to detect the Apple T2 chip
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 14:03:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260719180308.1398-2-atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260719180308.1398-1-atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com>
Add a flag to detect Apple T2 chips on Intel Macs.
Cache the result to avoid repeated checks. That will
be used in upcoming patches.
