x86, extable: Add early_fixup_exception()
Add a restricted version of fixup_exception() to be used during early boot only. In particular, this doesn't support the try..catch variant since we may not have a thread_info set up yet. This relies on the exception table being sorted already at build time. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1334794610-5546-1-git-send-email-hpa@zytor.com Signed-off-by: H.
