Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpufeatures: Remove get_scattered_cpuid_leaf()
Date: Mon,  5 Nov 2018 10:57:25 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181105185725.18679-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)

get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() was added[1] to help KVM rebuild hardware-
defined leafs that are rearranged by Linux to avoid bloating the
x86_capability array.  Eventually, the last consumer of the function
was removed[2], but the function itself was kept, perhaps even
intentionally as a form of documentation.

Remove get_scattered_cpuid_leaf() as it is currently not used by KVM.
Furthermore, simply rebuilding the "real" leaf does not resolve all of
KVM's woes when it comes to exposing a scattered CPUID feature, i.e.
keeping the function as documentation may be counter-productive in
some scenarios, e.g. when KVM needs to do more than simply expose the
leaf.
