Is this patch going to be merged? Or still any blocking issue there?

Atom-based CPUs trigger stack fault when invoke 32-bit SYSENTER

Following is assembly when the fault exception happens.
(gdb) disassemble $eip
Dump of assembler code for function __kernel_vsyscall:
0xf7fd8fe0 <+0>: push %ecx
0xf7fd8fe1 <+1>: push %edx
0xf7fd8fe2 <+2>: push %ebp
0xf7fd8fe3 <+3>: mov %esp,%ebp
0xf7fd8fe5 <+5>: sysenter
0xf7fd8fe7 <+7>: int $0x80
=> 0xf7fd8fe9 <+9>: pop %ebp
0xf7fd8fea <+10>: pop %edx
0xf7fd8feb <+11>: pop %ecx
0xf7fd8fec <+12>: ret
End of assembler dump.
According to Intel SDM, this could also be a Stack Segment Fault(#SS,
12), except a normal Page Fault(#PF, 14). Especially, in section 6.9
of Vol.3A, both stack and page faults are within the 10th(lowest
priority) class, and as it said, "exceptions within each class are
implementation-dependent and may vary from processor to processor".
It's expected for processors like Intel Atom to trigger stack
fault(SIGBUS), while we get page fault(SIGSEGV) from common Core processors.

Looks like it got left behind in the confusion of which tree.
I will apply this to my tree.
