And aarh32 as well, in arch/arm64/kernel/entry32.S In previous submissions it was a patch that shares aarch32 code to ilp32. If we decided turn around again, I think, we'd pick up that patch. The other option is to make this hack generic, as so many arches use it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
