[PATCH] x86: Remove nx_enabled from fault.c

From: Harvey Harrison
Date: Thu Jan 24 2008 - 23:41:27 EST


On !PAE 32-bit, _PAGE_NX will be 0, making is_prefetch always
return early. The test is sufficient on PAE as __supported_pte_mask
is updated in the same places as nx_enabled in init_32.c which also
takes disable_nx into account.
