Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Document how CR4.PCIDE restore works

CVE-2017-5754
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While debugging a problem, I thought that using
|
|
|
|
|
cr4_set_bits_and_update_boot() to restore CR4.PCIDE would be
|
|
|
|
|
helpful. It turns out to be counterproductive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add a comment documenting how this works.
