Subject: x86/fpu: Remove xsave_init() __init obfuscation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c0841e34fd9bbcef58c537151de8c83d2c910099;p=linux-beck.git

x86/fpu: Remove xsave_init() __init obfuscation

So this code surprised me - and being surprised when reading FPU code
does not help maintainability of an already overly complex subsystem.

Remove the obfuscation and just don't use __init annotation for now.
Anyone who wants to free these ~600 bytes of xstate_enable_boot_cpu()
should implement it cleanly.
