From e868a55c2a8cb72b66d7137fbcc54b82016e98eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Tesarik Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:42:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [IA64] remove find_thread_for_addr() find_thread_for_addr() is no longer needed. It was only used to find the correct kernel RBS for a given memory address, but since the kernel RBS is not needed any longer, this function can go away.
