  [PATCH 2/8] x86/asm: Remove __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT==47 assert "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> - 2017-03-27 18:40 +0200

#1609976 — [PATCH 2/8] x86/asm: Remove __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT==47 assert

We don't need the assert anymore. 17be0aec74fb ("x86/asm/entry/64:
Implement better check for canonical addresses") made canonical
address check generic wrt. address width.
