3.19.8-ckt16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org> commit 3d44d51bd339766f0178f0cf2e8d048b4a4872aa upstream. This doesn't seem to fix a regression -- I don't think the CLAC was ever there. I double-checked in a debugger: entries through the int80 gate do not automatically clear AC. Stable maintainers: I can provide a backport to 4.3 and earlier if needed. This needs to be backported all the way to 3.10.
