[PATCH 1/5] x86: add context tag to mark mm when running a task in 32-bit compatibility mode

From: Stephen Wilson <hidden>
Date: 2011-03-09 00:33:20
Also in: linux-mm, linux-s390, linux-sh, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

This tag is intended to mirror the thread info TIF_IA32 flag.  Will be used to
identify mm's which support 32 bit tasks running in compatibility mode without
requiring a reference to the task itself.
