Also note that the base tree of these patches is the above tip:WIP.x86/pti.entry
tree, which is v4.14 based and which we are keeping Git-stable as well, as it
didn't require any fixes or other changes. I.e. it's the same tree as
WIP.x86-pti.entry-for-linus which we sent in a pull request to Linus yesterday:

[RFC GIT PULL] Page Table Isolation (PTI), x86 syscall entry code changes

... and it's all included in today's linux-next as well.

Thanks,

Ingo
