Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] x86/cpu/intel: Simplify F00F bug notice using pr_notice_once()
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 17:24:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515002500.2463393-3-sohil.mehta@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515002500.2463393-1-sohil.mehta@intel.com>

The F00F bug workaround goes through a lot of effort to print the kernel
notice exactly once. Replace it with pr_notice_once(), which precisely
does that.
