Subject[PATCH 15/16] x86: entry.S: simplify optimistic SYSRET
Date
From: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com>

Avoid redundant load of %r11 (it is already loaded a few instructions before).
Do not needlessly increment %rsp - we are going to return to userspace
via SYSRET, this insn doesn't use stack for return.

Changes since v1: added a comment
