[PATCHv1, RFC 8/8] x86/mm: Allow to boot without la57 if CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All pieces of the puzzle are in place and we can now allow to boot with
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y on a machine without la57 support.

Kernel will detect that la57 is missing and fold p4d at runtime.
