Pull x86 iopl updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This implements a nice simplification of the iopl and ioperm code that
Thomas Gleixner discovered: we can implement the IO privilege features
of the iopl system call by using the IO permission bitmap in
permissive mode, while trapping CLI/STI/POPF/PUSHF uses in user-space
if they change the interrupt flag.
This implements that feature, with testing facilities and related
cleanups"
[ "Simplification" may be an over-statement. The main goal is to avoid
the cli/sti of iopl by effectively implementing the IO port access
parts of iopl in terms of ioperm.
This may end up not workign well in case people actually depend on
cli/sti being available, or if there are mixed uses of iopl and
ioperm. We will see.. - Linus ]
