Subject: x86: use X86_FEATURE_NOPL in alternatives
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc6~23^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f31d731e4467e61de51d7f6d7115f3b712d9354c;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

x86: use X86_FEATURE_NOPL in alternatives

Use X86_FEATURE_NOPL to determine if it is safe to use P6 NOPs in
alternatives.  Also, replace table and loop with simple if statement.
