Subject: [PATCH 2/5] xen/x86-64: clean up warnings about IST-using traps
Date: Thu, 07 May 2009 11:56:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A032EE0.9030607@goop.org> (raw)

Ignore known IST-using traps.  Aside from the debugger traps, they're
low-level faults which Xen will handle for us, so the kernel needn't
worry about them.  Keep warning in case unknown trap starts using IST.
