This isn't about removing it, it's about putting it behind a default=y CONFIG. At the very least, the cleanups and 32/64 merging look sensible. As for the CONFIG, I think it'd be useful to have that, since some more specialized users may not want IO ports at all (some folks see IO ports as dangerous since they are a potential way to make a jump from uid-0 to ring-0). -Kees -- Kees Cook Chrome OS Security _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
