Thanks! I'm not using SGI UV and I'm not using kexec, so I guess I sidestepped most of those issues. Greg, I think we need to unrevert the cpa->pfn change (otherwise the L1TF fix probably gets pretty messy) and I guess pull in the other patches that Ben mentions.
Ok, so what patch should be reverted? I'm seeing other reports of problems all around this same area, but I can't figure out exactly what to do. Guenter, any ideas? thanks, greg k-h
