The patch titled x86: replace sensitive instructions with macros has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is x86-replace-sensitive-instructions-with-macros.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86: replace sensitive instructions with macros From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Abstract sensitive instructions in assembler code, replacing them with macros (which currently are #defined to the native versions). We use long names: assembler is case-insensitive, so if something goes wrong and macros do not expand, it would assemble anyway. Resulting object files are exactly the same as before.
