Subject[PATCH] Disable warning for leaked single step handling
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When running the x86 selftests in qemu TCG the leaked single step
warning in traps.c triggers. It's probably an qemu emulation bug,
but for now it means this code needs to be kept and the warning
removed.
