Subject: [PATCH 06/19] x86, mpx: we do not allocate the bounds directory
Date: Fri, 08 May 2015 11:59:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150508185951.971F11F2@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150508185948.4C19F4B0@viggo.jf.intel.com>


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The comment and code here are confusing.  We do not currently
allocate the bounds directory in the kernel.
