Subject: x86, boot: zero EFLAGS on 32 bits
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=97541912785369925723b6255438ad9fce2ddf04;p=mv-sheeva.git

x86, boot: zero EFLAGS on 32 bits

The 64-bit code already clears EFLAGS as soon as it has a stack.  This
seems like a reasonable precaution, so do it on 32 bits as well.

[ Impact: extra paranoia ]
