[PATCH 2/8] xen/x86-64: clean up warnings about IST-using traps

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Thu May 07 2009 - 20:16:53 EST


From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@xxxxxxxxxx>

Ignore known IST-using traps. Aside from the debugger traps, they're
low-level faults which Xen will handle for us, so the kernel needn't
worry about them. Keep warning in case unknown trap starts using IST.
