6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ard Biesheuvel ardb@kernel.org
commit 6aac80a8da46d70f2ae7ff97c9f45a15c7c9b3ef upstream.
Avoid touching register %ecx in startup32_set_idt_entry(), by folding the MOV, SHL and ORL instructions into a single ORL which no longer requires a temp register.
This permits ECX to be used as a function argument in a subsequent patch.
