Quick feedback : at two places you have this :

=> s/is //

Please add stdlib.h to avoid this warning I'm getting on 32-bit :

ldt_gdt.c:286:4: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit' [enabled by default]

And I had to remove xmmintrinsic as suggested by Boris as well.


FWIW here's what I'm getting here on 4.1.2 without CONFIG_X86_16BIT
(where nmi_espfix failed), the output is the same for a 32- and a 64-bit
process :
