[PATCH 1/5] x86, head_32: Remove i386 pieces

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Sat Feb 09 2013 - 14:53:59 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

Remove code fragments detecting a 386 CPU since we don't support those
anymore. Also, do not do alignment checks because they're done only at
CPL3. Also, no need to preserve EFLAGS.
