From 11af32b69ef7ee64c7d8848cad71a6f3749d9e37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:28:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86, 386 removal: Document Nx586 as a 386 and thus unsupported Per Alan Cox, Nx586 did not support WP in supervisor mode, making it a 386 by Linux kernel standards. As such, it is too unsupported now. Reported-by: Alan Cox Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121128205203.05868eab@pyramind.ukuu.org.uk Signed-off-by: H.
