[PATCH] x86/asm: Use RDPKRU and WRPKRU mnemonics in <asm/special_insns.h>
From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Mon Jun 16 2025 - 04:36:26 EST
Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.30,
which supports RDPKRU and WRPKRU instruction mnemonics.
Replace the byte-wise specification of RDPKRU and
WRPKRU with these proper mnemonics.
No functional change intended.
