Subject: x86: use alternative instructions for fnsave/fxsave too
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc4~83
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2847e3478c3d8119eedc3e0cb85a308b21f681dd;p=linux-2.6

x86: use alternative instructions for fnsave/fxsave too

This one ends up using an inline asm format that claims to read memory
and then clobber it (rather than just write it directly), which made it
easier to use the existing "alternative_input()" infrastructure support.

Now the fxsave code matches the fxrstor.
