Hi Joerg,

I've found no significant issues in my testing of this patch set.
The only minor thing I noted is that in your previous "v8" patch set
([PATCH 38/39] x86/mm/pti: Add Warning when booting on a PCID capable
CPU), it reports the warning on non-PCID capable CPUs: I think you
intended a bitwise "&", not a logical "&&" in the if statement?

Tested-by: David H. Gutteridge <dhgutteridge@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Regards,

Dave
