SubjectRe: [PATCH 01/23] x86, kaiser: prepare assembly for entry/exit CR3 switching

Can you please have a macro variant which does:

SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3_PUSH reg=%rdi

So the pushq/popq is inside the macro. This has two reasons:

1) If KAISER=n the pointless pushq/popq go away

2) We need a boottime switch for that stuff, so we better have all
related code in the various macros in order to patch it in/out.

Also, please wrap these macros in #ifdef KAISER right away and provide the
stubs as well. It does not make sense to have them in patch 7 when patch 1
introduces them.

Aside of Boris comments this looks about right.

Thanks,

tglx
