From f31d731e4467e61de51d7f6d7115f3b712d9354c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:50:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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. Signed-off-by: H.
