Re: [PATCH 07/21] X86_64, UV: Remove Support for UV1

Hi Ingo,
I updated that patch to not remove any code, but instead there is now a
config option to enable or disable UV1 support, as well as an config help
message on why that might be done. I also addressed the other issues
you raised in the following 2 emails. And I found out that the newer
"checkpatches" script also had some new "concerns". I was able to fix
all that were possible (or practical).
The patches follow...
Thanks!
Mike
