Subject: x86, flags: Rename X86_EFLAGS_BIT1 to X86_EFLAGS_FIXED
From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1adfa76a95fe4444124a502f7cc858a39d5b8e01 upstream.
Bit 1 in the x86 EFLAGS is always set. Name the macro something that
actually tries to explain what it is all about, rather than being a
tautology.
