Hi Andrew, This patch series adds to the end of the existing i386-gdt-cleanups patches: allow-per-cpu-variables-to-be-page-aligned.patch i386-gdt-cleanups-use-per-cpu-variables-for-gdt-pda.patch i386-gdt-cleanups-use-per-cpu-gdt-immediately-upon-boot.patch i386-gdt-cleanups-use-per-cpu-gdt-immediately-upon-boot-fix.patch i386-gdt-cleanups-clean-up-cpu_init.patch i386-gdt-cleanups-cleanup-gdt-access.patch i386-gdt-cleanups-rename-boot_gdt_table-to-boot_gdt.patch +i386-gdt-cleanups-page-align-the-gdt.patch +i386-convert-pda-into-the-percpu-section.patch +lguest-use-percpu.patch +i386-cleanups-to-help-using-per-cpu-variables-from-asm.patch +percpu-define-per_cpu_offset.patch The quick summary of each patch is: i386-gdt-cleanups-page-align-the-gdt.patch Make sure the GDT is page-aligned, which Xen requires, but it is generally helpful. i386-convert-pda-into-the-percpu-section.patch Remove the PDA as a separate entity, and use the normal per-cpu mechanism This still uses the PDA's underlying segment machinery to retain the same code-size and atomicity benefits that the PDA had. lguest-use-percpu.patch Fix lguest's initialization to skip PDA references. i386-cleanups-to-help-using-per-cpu-variables-from-asm.patch Add some tweaks to asm-i386/percpu.h to allow efficient access to per-cpu variables from assembler. percpu-define-per_cpu_offset.patch Define per_cpu_offset in asm-i386/percpu.h, to be consistent with asm-generic/percpu.h.
