Subject: [PATCH] Revert "sched, x86: Optimize branch hint in __switch_to()"
Date: Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:32:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B16503A.8030508@klingt.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tip-a3a1de0c34de6f5f8332cd6151c46af7813c0fcb@git.kernel.org>

This reverts commit a3a1de0c34de6f5f8332cd6151c46af7813c0fcb.

Commit 8ec6993d9f7d961014af970ded57542961fe9ad9 cleared the es and ds
selectors, so the original branch hints are correct now. Therefore
the branch hint doesn't need to be removed.
