[PATCH v4 03/21] arm64: Turn the MMU-on sequence into a macro

Marc Zyngier maz at kernel.org
Mon Jan 18 04:45:15 EST 2021


Turning the MMU on is a popular sport in the arm64 kernel, and
we do it more than once, or even twice. As we are about to add
even more, let's turn it into a macro.

No expected functional change.
