[PATCH 1/5] x86: boot/copy, remove unused functions

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Wed May 31 2017 - 04:12:53 EST


copy_from_gs and copy_to_gs are unused in the boot code. They have
actually never been used -- they were always commented out since their
addition in 5be865661516 ("String-handling functions for the new x86
setup code.") in 2007. So remove them -- they can be restored from
history if need be.
