From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>
At Boris' suggestion I've split this into two parts for version 5.
First one stops the driver from clearing the block_status field as:
1) it is unnecessary
2) not mentioned in the spec
3) may upset user mode tools that extract information from the BERT table.
Second is the code simplification that you've seen before in ealier
versions of this patch.
