From c4aee363af2a81f9726c5fa13e136ebaf02852bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2012 00:23:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ia64: dead code in copy_thread() since 2004 It used to be called with NULL regs when creating idle threads on secondaries. Not used that way since wli had buried that kludge...
