I.e. the existing setup code should be converted to C in one patch, and then another patch should add 5-level paging support to the C code. See how this was done for the 32-bit setup code already: 5a7670ee23f2 x86/boot/32: Convert the 32-bit pgtable setup code from assembly to C Also, please split it up into per boot path and topic, i.e. have a sparate patch for the Xen bits, the KASAN bits, the kexec extension, etc. Thanks, Ingo -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
