Can you please have a macro variant which does:
SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3_PUSH reg=%rdi
So the pushq/popq is inside the macro. This has two reasons:
1) If KAISER=n the pointless pushq/popq go away
2) We need a boottime switch for that stuff, so we better have all
related code in the various macros in order to patch it in/out.
Also, please wrap these macros in #ifdef KAISER right away and provide the
stubs as well. It does not make sense to have them in patch 7 when patch 1
introduces them.
Aside of Boris comments this looks about right.
Thanks,
