4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3d44d51bd339766f0178f0cf2e8d048b4a4872aa upstream.
This doesn't seem to fix a regression -- I don't think the CLAC was
ever there.
I double-checked in a debugger: entries through the int80 gate do
not automatically clear AC.
Stable maintainers: I can provide a backport to 4.3 and earlier if
needed. This needs to be backported all the way to 3.10.
