[PATCH 06/12] i386: Minimum cpu detection cleanups.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch modifies verify_cpu to check for a 486 even when
REQUIRED_MASK1 == 0 

This patch modifies REQUIRED_MASK1 to require  PAE when CONFIG_X86_PAE
is set not when HIGHMEM64G is set, not that there is a functional
difference but it seems an obvious fix.
