Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 1/4] x86/smp: Allow calling mwait_play_dead with an arbitrary hint
Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2025 10:50:26 +0100	[thread overview]

Well.. Maybe that wasn't that good of an idea. I've given the rationale
in the 0/4:

It makes the patches simpler, in a sense that I don't have to update the
comments each patch when moving things around and renaming.
