Subject: [patch] x86: xsave: cleanup return codes in check_for_xstate()
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 12:07:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100603100746.GU5483@bicker> (raw)

The places which call check_for_xstate() only care about zero or
non-zero so this patch doesn't change how the code runs, but it's a 
cleanup.  The main reason for this patch is that I'm looking for places
which don't return -EFAULT for copy_from_user() failures.
