Josh,

I'm getting the following error when the above makefile is called:
Warning: stacktool: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel

This was seen with your patches rebased on v4.3-rc2.

It is failing on this diff:
diff arch/x86/insn/x86-opcode-map.txt ../../arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt

And the output is as follows:
902,904d890
< 3: xrstors
< 4: xsavec
< 5: xsaves
949,950c935,936
< 6: XSAVEOPT | clwb (66) | mfence (11B)
< 7: clflush | clflushopt (66) | sfence (11B) | pcommit (66),(11B)
---
> 6: XSAVEOPT | mfence (11B)
> 7: clflush | sfence (11B)

Why do these files essentially need to be duplicated? Would it be possible to
point Make at the files that are already in ../../arch/x86/*?
