[PATCH v2 08/12] x86/entry: Only allocate space for SYSENTER_stack if needed

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Mar 09 2016 - 22:02:52 EST


The SYSENTER stack is only used on 32-bit kernels. Remove it in
64-bit kernels.

(We may end up using it down the road on 64-bit kernels. If so,
we'll re-enable it for CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION.)
