In order to be able to insert calls to kernel_neon_begin()/end() into the runtime services calls, we need a) to supply definitions for efi_call_virt() and __efi_call_virt() that contain those calls to kernel_neon_begin()/end() b) to enable runtime wrappers (which is what uses those definitions) Would you prefer those to be split in 2 patches? -- Ard. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
