Subject[PATCH v7 1/4] x86/asm: Frame pointer macro cleanup
Date
The FRAME/ENDFRAME asm macros for setting up and restoring the frame
pointer aren't currently being used. However, they will be needed soon
to help asm functions to comply with stackvalidate.

Make the code more readable and improve the comments.
