Subject: mtrr/state.c unused?
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2010 21:24:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100203202425.GC1367@aftab> (raw)
It looks like <arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c> is not used by
anything in the kernel.
Besides cleanups, the only relevant patch in the git history is:
commit 2ec1df4130c60d1eb49dc0fa0ed15858fede6b05
Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Thu Oct 11 11:16:28 2007 +0200
i386: move kernel/cpu/mtrr
which adds it. Hmm...
A
git log -i --pickaxe-all -Sset_mtrr_prepare_save
for example, shows that

x86: remove long dead cyrix mtrr code
has removed the last callers of those helpers and they're now unused.
They should go if we don't need them anymore.
