Re: [PATCH] x86: support further AMD Zen6 instructions
Jan Beulich points out that the ‘x64’ attributes added for new AMD Zen6 instructions (RMPDIRTY, RMPOPT) are redundant because the context already implies a 64-bit architecture. He notes this is similar to the RMPREAD instruction and indicates he will provide a patch to correct this. This clean-up improves the accuracy and conciseness of the instruction definitions.
