RE: [PATCH V7 0/8] Intel(R) MPX register support


Hello Mark,

In fact this small diff was only intended to be reviewed, changes for that are already spread among the other commits.

So I am going to commit everything except documentation, Pedro did some comments on that today.

THANKS A LOT!!!

Regards,
-Fred

Sorry, thought I already replied to your message.

It's not enitrely clear to me why MPX for x32 can't work, but since I don't particularly care about x32 (and even think it's a silly idea and its implementation on Linux is actually broken) I'm not going to let that stand in the way of getting this stuff in.

I also think that this whole splitting up of diffs is going too far.
Why don't you just squash this one together with all the other ones and commit them in one go?

Cheers,

Mark
