[PATCH 3/7] x86: add 'runtime constant' support

From: Linus Torvalds
Date: Mon Jun 10 2024 - 16:49:40 EST


This implements the runtime constant infrastructure for x86, allowing
the dcache d_hash() function to be generated using as a constant for
hash table address followed by shift by a constant of the hash index.
