Yup, that one is about to become a minefield (ARM64_HAS_NO_HW_PREFETCH,
ARM64_HAS_UAO, ARM64_ALT_PAN_NOT_UAO and ARM64_HAS_VIRT_HOST_EXTN are
already happily clashing into -next). But hey, the more the merrier! ;-)


Would you like me to rebase it to for-next/core ?

I think ARM64_HAS_VIRT_HOST_EXTN is in the KVM tree, so you're probably
best off looking at linux-next and choosing your feature number based on
that, whilst basing the patch on either for-next/core or mainline.


OK, I will do that now.

David.
