[PATCH v4 0/6] Make IA32_EMULATION boot time overridable

[Nikolay Borisov]

Here's v4 of the patchset, incorporating latest round of reviews, Namely,

* Split the first patch into 2  - one introducing the ia32_enabled() function
which simply return true if IA32_EMULATION is selected.

* Some minor typos (rdunlap)

* Reworked some changelogs.

* Added one final patch which introduces the Kconfig/boot time parameter after
everything is predicated on ia32_enabled. This allows the config switch to be
fully operable when it's introduced. (tgxl)

* Renamed the runtime parameter name to ia32_emulation and its format to bool.

Nikolay Borisov (6):
  x86: Introduce ia32_enabled
  x86/entry: Rename ignore_sysret
  x86/entry: Compile entry_SYSCALL32_ignore unconditionally
  x86/elf: Make loading of 32bit processes depend on ia32_enabled()
  x86/entry: Make IA32 syscalls' availability depend on ia32_enabled()
  x86: Make IA32_EMULATION boot time configurable
