Subject: [PATCH 2/6] i386 virtualization - Remove some dead debugging code
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:59:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200508152259.j7FMx9qZ005312@zach-dev.vmware.com> (raw)

This code is quite dead.  Release_thread is always guaranteed that the mm has
already been released, thus dead_task->mm will always be NULL.
