[PATCH] x84: reenable DEBUG_TLBFLUSH for X86_32

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Thu Mar 14 2013 - 07:54:48 EST


CONFIG_INVLPG got removed in commit
094ab1db7cb7833cd4c820acd868fc26acf3f08e ("x86, 386 removal: Remove
CONFIG_INVLPG"). That commit left one instance of CONFIG_INVLPG
untouched, effectively disabling DEBUG_TLBFLUSH for X86_32. Since all
currently supported X86 CPU's should now be able to support that option,
just drop the entire sub-dependency.

0) Untested! This needs testing by the subsection of people running
DEBUG_TLBFLUSH on X86_32. I'm not in that subsection.

1) I actually wonder whether this check was needed in the first place.
It seems that the code depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH in
arch/x86/mm/tlb.c was actually safe to be called on any X86 CPU, since
it used to test for cpu_has_invlpg. But none of that matters anymore.

X86-only for now.
