From b406ac61e94875723540bd56e26f634afdeef489 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harvey Harrison Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:34:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86: remove nx_enabled from fault.c On !PAE 32-bit, _PAGE_NX will be 0, making is_prefetch always return early. The test is sufficient on PAE as __supported_pte_mask is updated in the same places as nx_enabled in init_32.c which also takes disable_nx into account.
